On The War in Ukraine:
53:51
Lex Fridman:  So you mentioned nuclear weapons. I'd love to hear your opinion about the 21st century and whether you think we might destroy ourselves and maybe your opinion if it has changed by looking at what's going on in ukraine that we could have a hot war with nuclear powers involved and the tensions building and the seeming forgetting of how terrifying and destructive nuclear weapons are.  Do you think humans might destroy ourselves in the 21st century and if we do how do we avoid it? 
Ray Kurzweil:  I don't think that's going to happen despite the terrors of that war. It is a possibility but it's unlikely. Even with the tensions we've had with this one nuclear power plant that's been taken over. It's very tense but i don't actually see a lot of people worrying  that's going to happen. i think we'll avoid that we had two nuclear bombs go off in 1945 so now we're 77 years later. We're doing pretty good we've never had another one go off through anger 
Lex Fridman: But people forget people forget the lessons of history.  
Ray Kurzweil:  I am worried about it i mean that that is definitely a challenge. 
Lex Fridman: But you believe that we'll make it out and ultimately super intelligent AI will help us make it out as opposed to destroy us.
Ray Kurzweil:  I think so but we do have to be mindful of these dangers and and there are other dangers besides nuclear weapons.

When asked about nuclear armaggedon and the Russo-Ukrainian War, Kurzweil stated: " I don't think (nuclear war) is going to happen despite the terrors of that war. It is a possibility but it's unlikely. Even with the tensions we've had with (the Zaporizhzhia) nuclear power plant that's been taken over. It's very tense but i don't actually see a lot of people worrying  that's going to happen. I think we'll avoid that we had two nuclear bombs go off in (1945) so now we're 77 years later....we've never had another one go off through anger...there are other dangers besides nuclear weapons."Ray Kurzweil Singularity Superintelligence and Immortality On The War in Ukraine Lex Fridman Podcast 321 September 17, 2022  - 439,132 views. 53:51 to 55:54    Lex Fridman

I added exact quotes from the source to the relevant references. The book is self-published, so it seems more likely to me that Peragine plagiarized Wikipedia than that Wikipedia plagiarized Peragine, but we should look into the history of these phrases to be sure.
