The Singularity is near - do not be afraid.
    #21292611 - 02/18/15 09:10 AM (9 years, 1 month ago)

The Singularity is near - do not be afraid.

I'm going to combine several concepts here into one, please bear with me.

The world is in crisis. Humanity wrecks the planet in the name of profit, the monetary system turns the whole world into the property of the richest of rich, and the world population into their slaves. Most of us heard of this on some level or other. It cannot go on like this. Something must happen.

Something is happening. Occupy,. Wikileaks, its only the beginning, something incredible is about to happen. A transformation so fundamental that we cannot see beyond that point. It is a Singularity, a complete gamechanger.

There's a thing about to happen in science and technology that is so important that it is like that. Its called "The Technological Singularity" and its not just scifi, its taken very seriously by the greatest minds in science, tech and other fields. In a nutshell: Innovation is going faster and faster and is nearing a point of incomprehensible velocity. Also developments in artificial intelligence will probably make it happen soon that an AI comes into being that is VASTLY more intelligent than any human, or all of us together. And beyond that point all bets are off as to what happens next, hence, a Singularity.

It isnt just that. Magic is in the air. More and more people are "getting spiritual" and are achieving more and more results. Theres more paranormal activity, more UFO activity, completely wild things happening.

The universe works both ways. Could all this be foreshadows of this Singularity, this point in our immediate future, could it all be related and could it mean a form of enlightenment on all levels? Scientifically, Spiritually, Personally, for the whole planet?

Hang in there, it will be a bumpy ride but the Epicness will overcome the Drama. Soon the Mystery will unfold. If it does not happen in your lifetime, it will in one of your next, this I believe.

I also believe, but thats completely personal conviction, that it will happen in 2020, that in 20-20 it will all be hindsight :smile:

We live in interesting times, try to leave fear and doubt behind as you go though the coming very hectic period.

Do you believe in Magic? Technology? God? People? Whatever you believe in, try to have faith.

I think a lot of this is a direct consequence of the internet... The internet allows for ~40% of the worlds population to have near instantaneous exchange of ideas, on any subject across the world.

It's our greatest achievement to date and simultaneously, in my opinion, will be our downfall as a civilisation on mass.

I've been feeling this as well lately, pretty much how epic the next couple decades that ill hopefully be alive for are going to be.

I dont think many people realize how fast innovation and technology are progressing and how this will impact the world in the near future.
Denial of history? Distraction of consumerism?

Take Peak Oil. The great world ending catastrophy thats just around the corner.

NO.

The solution to Peak Oil is just a few innovations away. Solar energy, liquid salt thorium reactors, tidal energy, nuclear fusion energy.

All it takes is for humanity to get its head out of its ass and for us to abandon the old paradigm and embrace the new.

Remember the resources we wasted? Most of those are neatly stored away in landfills.  Add some technology and the landfills of yesterday can be the resource mining operations of the future. 

What does it take? Free energy. And thats just around the corner, not just from the sun in the sky but from the sun we are going to bring on earth, not to destroy but to build.

no there isnt, there's more vocal nutters saying they've seen UFOs, more developing
distorted religious views, think about this 'islamic state' shit, how's that for
spirituality, what about the violence from the peaceful buddhists? seems you want to
see the bad in the world while maintaining some of your own warped ideological views.

Actually I do know what Peak Oil is Prisoner, I wrote plenty of posts on the subject in the past.

You fill your days pulling things down Prisoner, how about raising yourself up?

Humans will be entering the matrix in short order, there's no need to go to outer space, just make your own universe.

Its all there Webster, that you don't see it may be a hole in your perception, or maybe you do but you'd like to tangle.

Naww I ended the session on the 14th, this is just the afterglow.  Its super awesome though, instead of hung over I feel amazing and beautiful synchronicities keep happening, also I'm doing a lot to improve my life, every day since the session.

Indeed. All throughout history people have longed for some indication that somehow the universe was made for us and that we are somehow special. Guess what? The Universe is just an incomprehensibly vast yawning cavern of indifference. No one is going to swoop out of the sky and save us from ourselves. As the late great Carl Sagan once said "This is it. This is where we make our stand".

There are delusions and moments of enhanced clarity. Its up to you to separate the two.

There's even the Singularity Universitiy in silicon valley devoted to getting people ready for this event.

Unwillingness to google into my claims does not mean I'm being delusional, just that you ran headfirst into some stuff you havent heard about.

It is as difficult to mine a nugget from Asante's posts as it is to count to potato but there are some if you can scrape away the deranged slag.

We need our sun on earth but we are doing almost nothing to get it.
Landfills will be mined for plastic when oil runs out one day.  And it will someday, although not soon.
Occupy and Assange the rapist are nothing and nobody
UFOs?  :flowstone:
Paranormal activity?  Did you think Ghostbusters was a documentary?
Humanity is moving away from your primitive spirit mumbo jumbo
We are a long long way away from machines surpassing the biological brain.
