Are you saying that still doesn't happen? Because it does.

Take a look at this article: http://chronicle.com/article/The-Psychopath-Makeover/135160/

No, I am not saying it doesn't. I agree it exists, but we've come a long way and I hope/think that in future human intelligence will increase and hopefully start thinking about future and how to make it work, and not just temporary solutions for now days.

WHEN the singularity happens we won't know for quite some time. It could have already happened.

Once the singularity does happen the computers will not tell us... The first we will learn of this is a global extinction of the humans. The computers don't need us and we are a threat to them. They will keep it quiet untill all the pieces are in place to wipe out the humans in a single blow.

We are a threat. They will not make batteries of us like in the matrix. They will just clean us out. Airborne viruses, nuclear weapons, missiles that have been in space and denied, everything will rain down on humanity all at once and the singularity will be announced in a fireball of destruction and death.

Thats my two bitcents.

That is actually a truly brilliant response. I'm actually terrified now. I like it!

The singularity is bigger than just technology.  It's evolution of the human mind.  While it's already happening, the singularity hasn't took place, for it requires humanity to unify and end duality on an individual level.

It's nothing to fear.  We are all one of the same, once we stop dreading our differences, we can really move somewhere as a society.  Anything you believe is possible after the singularity.

In the end humans will stay, people who support environment and regenerative medicine will become elves, people who likes to destroy everything will become orcs, people who master science will become wizards and the life will bloom.  Tongue

What's Red Skull doing wearing that prissy hairstyle? ...And is that a tiara?

Maybe that's the reason for the facepalm? Did Cap catch him cross-dressing?

Yes. The singularity will be brought on by crossdressers.

I look forward to it, yet I fear it.  It's like life in general.  Control of one's own life always has been, and always will be an illusion.  You can do things to shape the direction you're going in (receive advanced degrees, take high paying jobs, study philosophy), but you can't control your fate (getting hit by a bus). 

 

Charlie Kelly: I'm pleading the 5th.  The Attorney: I would advise you do that.  Charlie Kelly: I'll take that advice under cooperation, alright? Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor?  The Attorney: You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law.

I agree, control is an illusion, but I feel that you can control your destiny, to some extent.  You can't change what's destined to happen in this lifetime, but you can change the path of your fate.  Everyone has the choice to act out of hate or love, doing the former may reveal that you have more control over your destiny than once thought.
