What is the Technological Singularity?
The Singularity is technological change so rapid and so profound that it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history. Some would say that we cannot comprehend the Singularity, at least with our current level of understanding, and that it is impossible, therefore, to look past its "event horizon" and make sense of what lies beyond. - Ray Kurzweil, 2001
Please check our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
As postulated, the Technological Singularity will have profound effects on all areas of human (and non-human) existence, such as:
- Scientific knowledge
- Education/learning
- Philosophy
- Sociology
- Psychology
- Legal systems
- Politics
- Economics
- Art
Some of the more prominent/debatable topics on our agenda right now are:
- Safeguard of Individual Entity rights
- Individual growth (related to individual evolution and relative wealth).
