How will the approach of the Singularity spread across the human world view?

The problem is not simply that the Singularity represents the passing of humankind from center stage, but that it contradicts our most deeply held notions of being.

Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended.

Life is a green madness just now, trying to squeeze the last bit of warmth from the season.

Little fish risking everything for a piece of godhood...and not knowing heaven from hell, even when they find it.

But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved, in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence.
