- If anything, the Singularity promises to bring as much rupture as it does rapture.
- As technological evolution continues to accelerate, our identities, ideals, and values struggle to keep pace, increasing the gap between the hardware of technology and the software of consciousness and culture.
- Make no mistake: if it is to truly become the denouncement of human evolution, a jumping-off point for an entirely new conception of human existence, the technological Singularity must be accompanied by a cultural Singularity and a conscious Singularity — a Singularity of “I”, a Singularity of “we”, and a Singularity of “it”.
- Otherwise it will not be a Singularity at all, but a world-devouring monster at the end of history, threatening to send evolution in this tiny corner of the galaxy back thousands, if not millions of years.
- We are now seeing a new stage of culture and consciousness beginning to emerge — a markedly Integral stage, capable of viewing the world through a meta-paradigmatic and multi-perspectival lens, holding all the world’s knowledge, wisdom, and insight as a single living jewel.
- And as more and more Integral individuals come together, a powerful cultural force begins to sweep across the planet, one that is inherently more whole, more balanced, and more capable than anything the world has ever seen.
- And to the extent that you are even vaguely interested in conversations like these, you are actually enacting and participating with the Singularity, at least in its conscious dimension.
- Today’s Integral pioneers are the living ancestors of tomorrow’s post-humans, standing in the convergence of all that is Beautiful, Good, and True.
- You are the singularity, every breath rippling out to the edge of our shared future, echoing back as tomorrow’s possibilities.
