The technological singularity - inevitable?
#3
RE: The technological singularity - inevitable?
Ok, there are some elements in it that sound probable. But considering it is all in the future which up till now has very poorly been anticipated by mankind so far, why make it into a religion? Like if there's no god why not become gods ourselves. Is this the Platonic mental virus going haywire again? As long as our immunity against that virus which has brought us nationalism, fascism, communism, theistic fundamentalism and much more is still low, I prefer my two feet on the ground above futuristic flatulence and remain very suspicious of certain signs of fanatism that generally precede war and destruction.
