The Singularity

is nothing like the new agers and popular media portrays it..I believe McKenna was right in his prediction that a singularity will happen..however, it seems he like many other thought it was going to be this all of a sudden like change..like humans were just going to automatically be changed by a date.
No.
The singularity is happening and has been. These things take time, as all change is time, but the amount of change occurring in the next five years will be so tremendous that it will match the definition of a true singularity.
Meaning such major changes in a rather short amount of time. that its impossible to even imagine where it all ends or stabilizes..its likely when this happens that it will simply mark the transitory period towards our next level of community, the evolution of the species. Singularity has been in the works since evolution even began, accelerating ever-more.
That these major changes are a good or bad thing I wont comment on, but everyone else feel free.

Can't get any more specific than 'these major changes'. No wonder this is a dying forum.

I don't believe that a singularity is as near as you believe. We will be approaching the limits of silicon microprocessors fairly soon. However, I won't consider my life worthwhile if I do not experience its creation so I hope it does happen.

you may be right but the potential is present here and now..the only thing holding it all back is the current structure of power..which will also be changed at such an extreme rate that it will all tie into and be apart of the overall singularity.
@ice you don't seem to understand what a singularity is other than what new agers and the like have told you. This post belongs here as I am not speculating beyond the event happening.

I have long had the idea that all biological life intelligent enough to do so must eventually create an intellectual singularity and incidentally makes itself kind of irrelevant. And that's why I think we may never encounter aliens we recognize as being biologically alive. Anyway, quantum computers and biocomputers which are fully realized are seemingly a way off and I think Moore's law is going to poop its pants soon. We're going to be stuck with regular computational bits for awhile and that is why I don't think that a singularity is coming any time soon. Well this is just my very layman understanding of it all.

singularity is the exceptional superiority so free out of all realities
that you mean when it would be clearly present constant fact, would have the effect of all change to not be alike, on the contrary, by being against since singular, so free negatively from knowing it, all would be a present fact being and would stop inventing being for/from powers over everything being right, because it would reject clearly the singular, then all would be at a point really free being, so reality would be a fact existing, where anyone would be assuming its individuality in knowing how it hates superior being
that is what confirm the sense to be for worse ends ... that you can see now everywhere, that dirty freedom and revolutions craps as the most hateful conspiracy against truth and rights in the most present insolent ways and facts

It already happened and you missed it.

Of course. 2012 didn't quite work out, but it'll be in the next 5 years, for sure.

Neither did all the shit in the 70s, 60s, 80s, 90s, and 1800s and back in Roman times etc but I'm sure it will in five more years.

i think the "singularity" is going to have to do with computers being so integral to our everyday life. I think there is going to come a time when nobody anywhere is going to be able to hide anything from each other. I also think that technologies such as the oculous rift is going to change the way we think of media all together. If you could create your world around you, why the hell wouldn't you? It will be interesting to see what is going to happen in the next 5-10 years.
