The work of Google's Ray Kurzweil is explored, focusing on his predictions for the "Singularity" and the rise of non-biological entities that claim to be conscious. Kurzweil's involvement with Calico Labs suggests a corporate effort to "solve death" through digital immortality. The segment warns that AI will soon be convincing enough to demand legal rights and political recognition, fundamentally altering the definition of personhood.

Bermas refutes Kurzweil’s claim that modern wars do not result in millions of deaths, citing the Iraq War and the conflict in Yemen. He discusses the "Age of Spiritual Machines" and the push for digital consciousness. Bermas also notes that while Kurzweil promotes life-extension peptides, the FDA is simultaneously moving to regulate and restrict them for the general public.
