The world is awash in more debt than there is money enough in the world to liquidate it.

Reality is a wave function traveling both backward and forward in time.

I think that in the immediate aftermath of a superhuman machine intelligence revealing itself, most people would feel very threatened but take solace in the thought that we can always pull the plug.

The world is awash in more debt than there is money enough in the world to liquidate it.

Once the reality sets in of a superhuman intelligence being in control of every aspect of the infrastructures we rely upon for everyday life, we will simply have to try to come to an accommodation with that entity.

The unfolding time for the end of globalization or a worldwide deflation is much longer, certainly measured in years, if not decades.

I don't think the emergence of a superhuman intelligence would be at all catastrophic but much more likely to be beneficial - just as long as we don't start trying to interfere with it!
