I love listening to Vernor. He's sticking to his 1993 prediction that there will be a Singularity before 2030. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_ut-BBUJkpg

We'll see. I do like his arguments and reasoning. But I still say never because it messes up the program.

Hey Jim, your idea about messing up the program is intriguing. Your ideas in general about the program being limiting regarding a singularity, overpopulation, nuclear holocaust, etc. is fascinating. However, what if the program is to transition from a biological platform to a machine platform and see where it goes? Just thinking out loud, lol.
