Caught most of this on cspan2 by accident this morning. Watch if you've got the time and can stand it, or become intrigued by it.
I think the substantial topics are, without much real thought, transhumanism, the illusion of privacy, and well... fuck. gaining a general awareness of our own evolution through means of the application of technology, and it's development faster than what we can make sense of, as is usually the case. By that I mean, the technology's influence thereon. or somethin'.
The singularity is here. It all correlates, for me, to something to the effect of tubing on a river with friends, drinking beer and peeing in the water. I dunno who paid for the beer and I dunno whose pee I just floated through, but I'm OK with that. Until I accidentally dunk my open beer beneath the surface. Then I'm pissed and confused.
