The Noble Lie

Transhumanists rejoice, this week marks the launch of Singularity University, a high-level track for graduate students and executives with $25k burning a hole in their pocket to network their way into becoming the next generation of movers and shakers in the Transhumanism/Singularity movement.

Co-founded by and following the books and lectures of Ray Kurzweil, Singularity University hopes to “assemble, educate and inspire a cadre of leaders who strive to understand and facilitate the development of exponentially advancing technologies and apply, focus and guide these tools to address humanity’s grand challenges,” according to this announcement by X-PRIZE CEO Peter Diamandis.
