We argued with Michael Bloomberg and Amit Bowry at the Technology of Immortality conference in Singapore that their program would not last five years. Why? They were surprised - we have all the money in the world, and we are determined to invest in reasonable projects in order to correct the shortcomings committed earlier.
I said that it was too late to drink mineral water when the kidneys stopped working, and putting out the fire with money is an absurd activity. They reacted to my words, skeptical lips tightening. We talked about the prospects of Immortality Technology, and also that we probably won’t live to the point where souls can be copied into new bodies, and laughed at some points in my book in which I called them Mr. First. and Mr. Second.
They also liked the story of the Kremlin’s flight and the battle for Russia at the regional level, where the archbishop looked like Cardinal Richelieu, whom we all respected.
They were surprised at my vision of the biblical story of a donkey, in which I showed how you can make him speak by ordinary human means.
I said that the main reason for the Singularity is that people do not hear each other. They do not read letters, they only send out booklets — no one will hear a sailor shouting, “Iceberg.”
Michael Bloomberg replied: “We all make too little effort to survive, we have very little strength, and we neglect them, but for some reason I remembered a man whose faith was the size of a mustard seed.
