What might have baffled us once, the question of "saving the world," is now a non-issue; we know that we care only about people of selected qualities, namely matched intelligence, strength and character of the highest order. And with that, we do what writers do: appeal to those who aren't yet destroyed to wait out the end of humanity,...

recently i have found some articles on the concept of "Singularity" -- the idea that at a certain time humans and machines will coalesce in to a singular property. Some ideas claim that this will happen at some time in the 2020ish range-- at least that's all I've seen so far. after i had read these articles i began to think....

Brief story: This afternoon, I, Matthew Wade Davis, a living human creature of the date January 18, 2008 realized that a very dear friend of mine has a name that loosely translates in English to "Little Zero". Intrigued, I soon found myself drawn to a computer wherein I would seek out the information that led me down the following path...

Is the singularity at the center of a black hole a natural divide by zero error? Is it really infinitely dense? What about the loss of information? The problems caused by math's inability to deal with the concept of infinity are mounting. You've probably seen the "proof" that 1 = 2, and the proof that there are an infinite number...

We are, as specie, vastly underestimating the speed with which we are approaching the moment of singularity. Though it is true that most of us have heard about or are involved, to this or that extent, with the coming technological singularity, it is also true that the vast majority of those involved are underestimating the immensity of the change...

I’ve seen more lately. I imagine some K-Mart shopper tossing nonchalantly the plastic wrapper from a pack of menthols into the air while walking away from the automatic doors.
