Futurology

I like what John Rennie has to say about Ray:

Therein lie the frustrations of Kurzweil's brand of tech punditry. On close examination, his clearest and most successful predictions often lack originality or profundity. And most of his predictions come with so many loopholes that they border on the unfalsifiable.

Futurist is such a bullshit title, imo. Leo Laporte has a woman on TWiT fairly often, can’t recall her name, but she’s a “futurist” and she’s constantly sniffing her own farts when she’s on.
