Sam Harris.  One of the most intelligent, eloquent, and courageous men who has ever graced our planet.  Look upon his face and know fear, all ye peddlers of religious cotton candy.

If debates about religion were cage fights, Sam Harris would be the undefeated, undisputed champion of the world—and there wouldn’t be a mark on him.  This is a man who eagerly accepts invitations to the Fox News studios, and makes Bill O’Reilly look like a TV game show host in a hurry to get to a commercial.  It just isn’t a fair contest:  Sam’s flawless, measured, stunningly articulate discourse of pure reason, versus Bill’s aggressive, cantankerous, grandstanding white-wash.  Harris simply makes everyone else—particularly evangelicals—look bombastic and unprepared.  He’ll paint you into a corner, and calmly wait for you to hand him your shoes.  His confidence and erudition are marvels to behold.  My love and respect for this man knows few bounds.  Sam Harris is one of the most important men of the 21st century.  See him in action here.

       Computers.  Growing exponentially more powerful, more compact, and less costly every year, high-speed digital technology will eventually transform every aspect of our lives.  Problems once considered intractable by science will soon be solved in days, with “brute force” computational algorithms that—a slender decade ago—would have required more than a human life span to complete.  We ain’t seen nothing yet.

       Google.  This company, founded by two software geeks in a Stanford dorm room, has given a new meaning to the word “disruptive.”  The online search function pioneered by Larry Page and Sergey Brin is already an indispensable tool… a well-stitched thread running through the patchwork quilt of web-based information.  One of Google’s objectives is to provide every person on Earth with a virtual oracle, capable of displaying the knowledge of the entire world.  Google will be a continuous seam in the fabric of our lives.

       Tiger Woods.  He’ll turn 32 in a couple of weeks, and has already single-handedly transformed the insular, elitist sport of golf into merely a vehicle headed downtown:  a mesmerizing, graceful journey to an eventual ticker-tape parade of individual human greatness. 

       Robot Love.  This future development will ultimately bring peace to the planet, and will finally rid mankind of the terrible scourge of unrequited affection.  Imagine if Heidi Klum had eyes for only you, or if Brad Pitt drove you to the mall… and waited patiently in the car for your return. 

Intelligent, capable, and nurturing robotic partners—indistinguishable from their biological counterparts—will soon take care of all our sexual and romantic needs, and will finally allow us to get on with the important work of finding true universal purpose, and destiny.
