wonder if Natasha might be able to get similar from, say, the LA Times?

 

 

Regarding extropian notions getting mainstream press, Ray Kurzweil got a lot
of exposure from an unlikely source: Glenn Beck.  Of course Beck's show is a
parody, but it is well done: he plays a far rightwing nut job so well he
fools plenty of people in his audience into thinking it is the real thing,
the same crowd that thinks championship rassling is real.  In this segment
from last January, he freaks out over the coming Singularity, and tells what
a horror it is.
