Document Summary
The world appears as a wide division of technology. We are told that time is a predetermined and straight line. If we continue to develop every valuable way then we will achieve our destiny. Singularity is a lie representing everything that is wrong with technology and how we participate with it. By which i mean, the singularity is a myth presently instrumental to political mobilization on behalf of the powers that be. When we talk about the future of technology and our destiny we are not really speculating about the limitlessness possibilities that are available to us. We continue to develop the world the way we already are. Favors the fiction that encourages us to participate with technology. Men are blind to the reality that they advocate these men are allowed to publish it all. Everything produced by these guys is the same. One must understand what capitalism is pushing, and singularity is one of it.
