I agree in principle with Dr. Kurzweil's opinion on this matter. However, I believe that H sapiens will integrate with technology to such an extent over the next few centuries that an entirely new form of life will emerge, combining biology and machine in ways that will radically change the path of civilization. I would also argue that this evolution (genetic/memetic/cybernetic) is necessary for terrestrial life to migrate into space. The process has begun already, and I like to call it the Dawn of the Astrazoic Eon, or the time of "star life."

Disagree. COmmunity doesn't exits in the natural world, which is brutish, and obtuse.
