Future Day 2013 - Ben Goertzel - Longevity 2013

Holidays provide a fantastic way of channeling peoples' attention and energy.

Most of our holidays are focused on past events or individuals, or on the rhythms of nature. History and nature are wonderful and should be honored — but the amazing future we are building together should be honored as well.

Future Day is a way of focusing and celebrating the energy that more and more people around the world are directing toward creating a radically better future.

This is a brand new holiday — the first Future Day was in 2012. This year on March 1st Future Day will be even better! Let us all work together to continue to make Future Day a great success!

wasn't one of his talks titled "9 years to a positive singularity if we really tried"? ;-) every year that passes with our biologically limited intelligence and rationality could be the last given our inability to export negentropy from our society. the paradigm of competition is the biggest generator of irrelevant entropy will be soon become one of the biggest existential risks and we really, really could need AGI very soon :-)
