Hey, Maybe the Singularity Really Is Near

A very interesting article from Glenn Reynolds stepping outside of his "evil" incarnation as the Instapundit, in which he points out some very strange sounding science and technology at the bleeding edge of the art.

Ray Kurzweil's book, The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology comes out next week. And I suspect that a lot of people wonder if things will really happen as fast as Kurzweil suggests.
But as I look at the news reports, I see quite a few signs that we're living in a future that not long ago would have looked science fictional. Take, for example, this report: Miracle Mouse Can Grow Back Limbs.

It's so far out, that the Chief read it in new sci-fi just a few years ago. In spite of the cautious optimism implicit in all of this stuff, there's also a sobering warning:

Meanwhile, here's an interview with Ray Kurzweil that I published elsewhere. Kurzweil is an optimist, but even he worries that the Singularity may come as a result of Chinese, not American, efforts, and he's got some disturbing numbers. The future is almost here, but we've still got some choices about how things will turn out. Let's try to choose wisely.

Indeed!

Thoughts on John Roberts Hearings

I have had only slight opportunity to watch these hearings. While the statements and questions of the Judiciary Committee members are largely predictable, and in that sense less than interesting, there are some nuggets that reveal certain mindsets. Certainly the...
What I've Learned Watching the Roberts Confirmation Hearings

One simple thing, really: Joe-Joe Biden loves him some TV camera time. And that's understated, perhaps. Biden, Leahy, and Chuck Schumer. Does it get any better than that? I caught some of the hearing off and on yesterday, and have...
Bush Let People Die To Pad Pockets of Pals In Mortuary Business

Oh, Jesus Christ....
Umpires and Judges.

This by Jack Shafer writing in Slate:In today's hearings, Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., and Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., rejected the strikes and balls analogy as specious. But I think Roberts' analogy holds up remarkably well, so well that he could...
The Historical Memory of MacArthur

Today marks the 55th anniversary of an amphibious assault by Gen. Douglas MacArthur on Korea that turned the tide during the Korean War. In South Korea, citizens paraded past a statue of MacArthur to defend it, in contrast to last...
Katrina Victims

These people interviewed by ABC at the Astrodome must not have gotten the memo: ABC News producers probably didn't hear what they expected when they sent Dean Reynolds to the Houston Astrodome's parking lot to get reaction to President Bush's...
