More on the "immotality" the tiny ruling elite thinks they're buying.
Here's the book my MIT nephew sent me, shortly after it was published, in 1991, as heads up about the future. Kurzweil's at MIT, at that time & my nephew - working in a closely related field of brain research - was familiar with his thinking.

Ray Kurzweil is the inventor of the most innovative and compelling technology of our era, an international authority on artificial intelligence, and one of our greatest living visionaries. Now he offers a framework for envisioning the twenty-first century--an age in which the marriage of human sensitivity and artificial intelligence fundamentally alters and improves the way we live. Kurzweil's prophetic blueprint for the future takes us through the advances that inexorably result in computers exceeding the memory capacity and computational ability of the human brain by the year 2020 (with human-level capabilities not far behind); in relationships with automated personalities who will be our teachers, companions, and lovers; and in information fed straight into our brains along direct neural pathways. Optimistic and challenging, thought-provoking and engaging, The Age of Spiritual Machines is the ultimate guide on our road into the next century.>

If you've been paying attention, as I have, since? You'd know Kurzwell is now research director at GOOG, working closely with DARPA.
Either they've developed nanobots to implant which can neutralize, otherwise, lethal post nuke detonation radiation OR they've built billion $$ immortal robot bodies ready for implanting individual human consciousness.
Hey, you don't really expect these guys to show ALL their cards do you? If so, got a bridge to sell you.<g>
So....still think I'm blowing smoke?? The Future is NOW, folks. And it's why mentally ill elites think they can walk free after Global Thermonuclear War & have authorized the DOD to publicly state an American First Strike policy to a non-nuclear threat. Quoted, in prior post.
