Techno-utopian vision; bully for the economy, still not clear on jobs and wealth distribution. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/innovations/wp/2014/01/02/how-the-united-states-is-reinventing-itself-yet-again/ … cc /@jstogdill

@jstogdill@alephbass if we based the future on the past we would predict humans would never fly or leave the Earth, cure AIDS or cancer.
Singularity Utopia

@2045singularity @alephbass Got it. I'm not against tech, and I'm not a blind techno optimist. I'm a "it's complicated." You oversimplify.
-
@jstogdill@alephbass the only complication is a lack of awareness. The evidence is compelling but blind tradition is a stumbling block. -
@2045singularity@alephbass I'm invoking my first law of personal interaction. Never argue with a true believer! Thanks for diving in. -
@jstogdill@alephbass sorry you felt I wasn't open to reasonable debate Jim. Thanks both of you for your input: https://medium.com/cognitive-computing-singularity-futurology/c16b01bb58e6 … -
@2045singularity@jstogdill ah, I see. Neither Jim nor I disbelieve the possibility singularity. We’re concerned with what happens… (cont) -
@2045singularity@jstogdill …between now and then. Could be 2045, could be 2145, could be never. -
@2045singularity@jstogdill lets all agree that AFTER the singularity it’s a moot point, sure. How many human generations until it happens? -
@alephbass@jstogdill I too am concerned about what happens leading up to the Singularity. Better awareness of future = better choices now.
