Doesn't he predict the "Singularity" for the 2040s sometime?

In one of his books that I've read he talks about how he wants to make it, as a fleshbot, till then, and then presumably he can be uploaded to the Hive Mind orbiting Delta Pavonis IV. To preserve himself till then he takes something like 200 vitamins a day.

He said somewhere else that he wants to bring back his dead father.I guess saying Kaddish wasn't enough. I can understand this.

I've always thought that this guy is so pathetic. His 'ideas' are pure pseudoscience. He has too little knowledge about how science works.
