How does one protect themselves from a Technological Singularity?

  • First of all you cannot really protect yourself fully from a Singularity anymore than you could protect yourself from oncoming cars if you were standing on a freeway with no way to get off or out of the way. However, likely the best protection would be to understand exactly what a Singularity would be like: 
    Here is a definition of Singularity the word.

      singularity

      1.

        So now you have a definition of Singularity which is basically, "There is nothing like a Singularity unless you are Comparing a Technological Singularity to being sucked into a Black Hole in the center of a Galaxy.
         
        Will anyone survive the singularity we appear to be starting into now?
         
        Unknown.
         
        How can you protect yourself?
         
        LIkely by studying technology so you can get out of the way of the technology that just might make you crazy, bankrupt you or outright kill you.
         
        So, now you have to look out for three things:
         
        1. Global Climate change
        2. Globalization
        3. Technological Singularity
         
        However, the good news is I don't believe it will PEAK for 9 to 30 years, so you might be able to survive it until then. After that, anything goes.
