Mark Pesce at Burning Man 2006

In this twenty minute rant, Mark Pesce sticks a fork into the Eschaton--it's "done." If the sky is falling and the world is ending in less than six years, how come no one is getting their affairs in order? Pesce recounts the Great Disappointment of the apocalyptic Millerite cult, touches on the ideas of Terence McKenna, lambasts Ray Kurzweil, discusses technological singularity, and discounts the idea of fabricated "artificial" intelligence (in favor of non-biological minds that are "grown").
