The NerdGod Delusion

[cheshirenoir]

Warren Ellis has posted a nice little rant about Post Singularity nutters.

(Stop looking at me that way!)

Yes I find the concepts of Singularity events fascinating.
Yes I know too much of the finer details. (Mind you anyone with an interest in Nano and has read Kurzweil probably knows some of the finer details)
Yes I suspect an "Information Event Horizon", past which we can make no predictions, is possible.
Yes I did make career decisions based on the possibility.
No I don't think it has to happen.
No I don't think a post singularity world will nessecarily be a nice place for us meatheads.

I have more time for the Singularity as a concept than I do for Singularitarians as a group. Particularly Extropians, who I found to largely be a group of arrogant wankers.
