- "Kevin Kelly, the Wired editor at large, says he admires Kurzweil but makes a well-argued rebuttal to what he calls "thinkism". This is, Kelly says, where we believe the main thing we lack in solving problems is not being able to think enough. So, if we put enough cycles in we can find the answer to anything: a sufficiently advanced AI would have more think cycles than all of humanity combined, therefore any problem you can imagine would be solved in a jiffy."
- "Thinkism also works well in other limited domains beyond school. It works well in bureaucratic settings where all the rules are known and you're expected to apply them without question."
