One of my CS professors is heavy into Kurzweil. He had me read "The Singularity is Near". I decided Kurzweil's arguments are the rhetorical equivalent of those algebra jokes where you "prove" 1=2 but it goes through a step that hides a divide by zero. Similarly, "The Singularity is Near" uses steps that seem logical to come to a ridiculous conclusion.
