Praise
Kurzweil was called "the ultimate thinking machine" by Forbes[67] and a "restless genius"[68] by The Wall Street Journal. PBS included Kurzweil as one of 16 "revolutionaries who made America"[69] along with other inventors of the past two centuries. Inc. magazine ranked him Number 8 among the "most fascinating" entrepreneurs in the US and called him "Edison's rightful heir".[70] Bill Gates called him "the best at predicting the future of artificial intelligence".[71]
Health and aging
Kurzweil admits that he cared little for his health until age 35, when he was found to suffer from a glucose intolerance, an early form of type II diabetes (a major risk factor for heart disease). Kurzweil then found a doctor, Terry Grossman, who shared his unconventional beliefs and helped him to develop an extreme regimen involving hundreds of pills, chemical intravenous treatments, red wine, and various other methods to attempt to extend his lifespan. In 2007, Kurzweil was ingesting "250 supplements, eight to 10 glasses of alkaline water and 10 cups of green tea" every day and drinking several glasses of red wine a week in an effort to "reprogram" his biochemistry.[48] By 2008, he had reduced the number of supplement pills to 150.[26] By 2015, Kurzweil further reduced his daily pill regimen down to 100 pills.[49]
