ISIS is a direct response to the growing Technological Singularity

This is something I realized just now, The ISIS Response is:

"I would rather die than go any further into this Technological Singularity". So, they have something in common with Trump supporters and Sanders supporters who also see they have no future at all without things drastically changing here on earth.

So, I think ISIS in some ways is the "Canary in the coal mine" telling us that the Technological Singularity "Is beginning now" at the very least.

So, ISIS is basically saying, "We are declaring a Jihad to the death against your Technological Singularity".

And the western world is basically saying (for now) "We are completely addicted to our smartphones and our Internet and our computers and tablets. Go away or die".

And this is how the technological Singularity is creating either technology addicts or people who want to destroy technology (and possibly the earth itself and all human beings).

IT is important to recognize both responses are inherently insane and work to see what response is actually useful to the ongoing survival of all life on earth.

Because in the end the Virtual Reality of the Internet is not real. It's only as real as you perceive it to be. A truck or bus coming down the road at you is real because if you don't get out of the way you will die. But, literally everything on the Internet is only as real as you personally perceive it to be in any given moment.

So, physical things are real and ideas likely aren't going to kill you until someone builds them into a car, or truck or plane or missile which is also physical.

So, a Technological Singularity isn't real (to you) until someone drains all your bank accounts, gets you fired from your job and/or directs a Hellfire missile from a drone over your house to kill you.

And by then it's too late, because you are dead.
