I have argued above that we cannot prevent the Singularity, that its coming is an inevitable consequence of the humans natural competitiveness and the possibilities inherent in technology.

Technical people don't make good slaves. Without their wholehearted cooperation, things fall apart.

Even the largest avalanche is triggered by small things.

I argue in this paper that we are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth.

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.

The work that is truly productive is the domain of a steadily smaller and more elite fraction of humanity.

Intelligence is the handmaiden of flexibility and change.
