Instead, she queried the determinants informing the definition of “greatness,” concluding that conditions affecting women’s lives and training-compounded by the priorities and practices of art history, art criticism, the art market, and many museums-have kept women at the margins. Nochlin admonished against arguments for including women artists who deserve to be called “great” within the existing historical and critical framework.

A lot of Ray‘s predictions from the past turned out to be correct (for example that computers would beat the world’s best chess players by the year 2000 – IBM’s Deep Blue beat Kasparov in 1997), so it’ll be exciting to see which of the ones from The Singularity Is Near are spot on. He’s also written seven books about these and other topics, many of which include predictions about the future. He’s preoccupied with topics like futurism, transhumanism (overcoming fundamental human limitations, like death) and of course, artificial intelligence.
