Everything
Ray Kurzweil
does is
driven by
a deep
fear of
dying.
He eats
200 pills
a day to
ward off
death &
plans to
one day
construct
something
resembling
his dead
father with
the help
of DNA
from his
grave bones.
This terror
of dying
rendered
Kurzweil
a spiritual
mutant long
before he
began making
plans to
turn himself
into a
tangle of
hardware
a pumping
heart &
artificial
intelligence
that will
live forever.
