I realize it's not mysticism. But it is believing something silly considering he's been saying it's just around the corner for decades now.
Sure, maybe one day it will happen. But it's like space colonies or everyone using flying cars. It's always going to happen in the near future.
Sure; I'm not saying you're wrong. Ray is unrealistically optimistic, and his predictions are heavily dependent on several iffy factors: that we'll create GAI; that it'll be able to exponentially improve itself; that it'll be benevolent; and that it'll see value in helping us obtain immortality, and decide that this is good for us.
I just don't think it's fair to lump him in with SovCits and homeopaths (or whatever Linus Pauling is). He's a different kind of "wrong"; not crazy or deluded, just optimistic.
