I've read Mr. Kurzweil's book and thought it excellent. Apparently Mr. Kurzweil's believes as I do that emotion without intelligence is possible but dull and useless and that intelligence without emotion is impossible. The reason he didn't talk a lot about emotion is that there is nothing interesting or useful to say about it. John K Clark Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=12564
