It is not Kurzweil, it is rather Aubrey De Grey's pretty good execution of a "weak inside view" analysis. Longevity escape velocity, as he calls it. I have my own minor complaint about the "accelerated via the a Singularity" part, which is markedly not part of De Grey's analysis (assuming that the OP really wrote the above paragraph with De Grey in mind and not someone else).
Yes I was hinting at longevity escape velocity, which doesn't depend on a Singularity per se, but a Singularity - meaning a vast increase in effective intelligence and computation - undoubtedly has a high probability of achieving longevity escape velocity, amongst other things.
I happen to believe the odds of achieving that escape velocity anytime soon without a vast increase in effective intelligence and computation are very low.
