next ten to twenty years I’ll be approaching 70 years of age, quite old but I hope to make it well beyond my three score and ten. So I may get to see what the end of the human era will entail. I’m worried though about what this will mean for my goddaughter who is just 17. How to prepare I don’t know; for me buddhism may be part of the answer.

“Technology is advancing ‘exponentially’ or faster. This means that the bulk of the change in knowledge and capacity needed to precipitate the singularity will occur within the last year [or two] before the event. [Translation: most of us won’t see it coming.]” ~Dan Clemmensen, 1996
