We appear to be programmed with the idea that there are 'things' outside of our self, and some are conscious, and some are not.

Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings.

Information defines your personality, your memories, your skills.

The story of evolution unfolds with increasing levels of abstraction.

The Singularity denotes an event that will take place in the material world, the inevitable next step in the evolutionary process that started with biological evolution and has extended through human-directed technological evolution. however, it is precisely in the world of matter and energy that we encounter transcendence, a principal connotation of what people refer to as spirituality.

By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate.

Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
