A former Google engineer has made a stark realization that humans will achieve immortality in eight years - and 86 percent of his 147 predictions have been correct.

Ray Kurzweil spoke with the YouTube channel Adagio, discussing the expansion in genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics, which he believes will lead to age-reversing 'nanobots.'

These tiny robots will repair damaged cells and tissues that deteriorate as the body ages and make us immune to diseases like cancer.

Human immortality is not what God intended. He will intervene.

So we're going to go from zero nanobots to nanobots with the ability to reverse aging in 8 years. Hmm

We will never be immortal as long as we are matter. Even if you can transfer your consciousness into a machine that machine can still be destroyed.


Immortality means you can never die and Kurzweil is wrong if he's using that word.

Death sounds better than immortality.

Immortality is not a good thing

Sounds cool on paper but new generations is a major plus.

Imagine having the same shite stains in Washington DC up there forever

There is too much money to be made in the treatment of critical illness for this to ever be allowed to happen.

We engineered a mission to put man on the moon in 1969, but are unable to find any sure cure for any cancer despite decades of research and billions upon billions of dollars of funding.

Big Pharm is Big Business. Pockets don’t get lined if people aren’t dying.
