Can you tell me more about Big Yud?

He is a giant, like two foot tall, who is obsessed with philosophy and physics (he was a philosophy major in college) and loves to talk about this stuff. I'm always surprised when he remembers my name and says it correctly, like he's really trying to. He's into weird topics like quantum immortality and transhumanist futurism and the Singularity, though he's basically anti-tech and believes that people are doomed to keep making the same stupid mistakes for the same stupid reasons.

He's a "fan" of the book "The Singularity Is Near" by Ray Kurzweil, because he thinks it predicts things very accurately, although I haven't read it.

He is one of my best friends, but I don't think he'll ever write another book.

Wait, so, how can you be both anti-tech and transhumanist?
