The axiomatic requirements of religion introduce a fatal defect into human epistemology that cuts off areas of model space and prevents universal intelligence. When Roger Bacon discovered the bug and released a fix into the world, he irrevocably started the Singularity.

And the human cognitive architecture comes loaded with plenty of fatal defects on its own.

No! My point is that once we fix the basic epistemology, we can identify and correct for all other defects. Once we know the criteria for evaluating truth, and as long as we can externalize ideas in a turing complete language, only our physical destruction can stop us.

But many of your terms are themselves epistemic conundrums. (Defects, truth, etc.) And so this enabling step you out forth (fix epist, correct all other defects, etc) are loaded as hell.

No, it is basically all fixed now, despite the prevailing confusion among many individuals. Almost all of the confusion stems from residual epistemological defects.
