assume its coming, then here are the questions:
1: when?
2: will political bullshit ban biotechnology?
3: will it be used to engineer super-virus and kill humanity?
4: what will the effects of super intelligent everything in a small area (stuck on the planet) be?
5: what will happen to governments?

from these questions I am starting to think that if it happens it will happen VERY slowly, because politics and fear (perhaps justified) will get in the way.

I wish Ray was right, but mankind has a history of falling short on its predictions. Ray is just a greedy Jew who happened to predict the internet would be successful, which many people could have done, and then goes batshit insane with unrealistic expectations.
