Singularicat!
In the five thousand years of recorded human history, and indeed, in all of anthropologically and archeologically knowable human history, it is inarguably true that every single significant technological advance has been rapidly propagated across all cultures and societies, and that every individual human (for it is the individual who holds primacy of place in all human philosophies) quickly experienced profound and positive changes to their lives, physiologies, and psyches because of that advance.
What makes these days--these final days, friends--so exciting is that this time, the change will be in the mighty works of our heirs in invention, systems and networks.
How lucky to live in a time when plentiful economic and energy surpluses are devoted to this ultimate project! How wonderful to be among the billions who will realize the benefits! How blessed to be one of the Western futurists who can confidently forecast the hour and the day!
