Singularity

Once
I was young
and there was hope

Now I am old
and there are
Resources

Soon
Life will change
for us All
Singularity

Through the Geometric progression of changes we all experience each day. Those of us who lived the last half of the 20th Century know that everything has changed. We might miss the intimacy of life before this century. But we know everything has changed some for the better some for the worse. And we wonder what the future will bring for all mankind and all life on Earth.

Somehow Intuitives like myself believe that we will find a way to muddle through all the changes
and some of us humans will survive on into the future for thousands to millions of years.

We may not know how completely this will be accomplished. But, we know from past experience
that often we can survive things we didn't expect to.

Often when you are young and in your teens or 20s you think that life will end suddenly. This seldom happens except in war on a battlefield. It's true that some die accidentally in cars and planes and from freak accidents, but most people find a way forward into their 80s and 90s or beyond now once they see 30 or more.

So, prepare for the unpreparable: Singularity

What does that really mean?

Maybe, if you can remember when home computers didn't exist, it is like life before Television, home computers, Cell phones, social networks. Or maybe the Singularity will be life without war anymore.

Life without war. I think that would be nice for a change.

What does singularity really mean?

It basically means that things begin changing so fast that the future becomes completely unpredictable in any given moment in the present and future.

But how is that different from many of our lives already?

Time will tell.
