So how long before Skynet sends a bunch of nukes up our collective asses then sends Ahnold to finish the job? According to Ray Kurzweil, about 25 years or so. The subject of Transcendent Man, a yet to be released documentary that was a smash sensation at this year’s Cannes Festival, Kurzweil is renowned for his eery ability to predict (within the confines of reasonable to exact proximity) some of the most life/culture/world/universe/brah altering epochs in the past 50 some-odd years.
