Jaron Lanier on "cybernetic totalism" in 2000

    Do Dawkins, Dennett, and others in their camp see some flaw in logic that insulates their thinking from the eschatological implications? The primary candidate for such a flaw as I see it is that cyber-armageddonists have confused ideal computers with real computers, which behave differently.

Worthy of note: According to Kurzweil in 2000, the Singularity is only three years away.
