The Singularity

As we prepare to cross the event-horizon of the coming technological singularity, will our humanity get lost in the march of progress or will these advances offer us new avenues of spiritual blossoming? The choice is ours to make. Following Moore’s Law, advances in computer power are soon to exceed our capacity to predict what is to come. At that moment, artificial intelligence could exceed human intellectual capacity and the world we know it will change in unimaginable ways. Technocrats argue that this could be a technological utopia or it could plunge humanity into slavery at the behest of silicon overlords. What we do now, will determine the course of human evolution in a post-singularity world.
