OMG, enough with this end of the world crap. I no its fun to think about doomsday, but we really do get carried away with this. Remember when we thought the world was gonna at the year 2000.

If the Singularity happens. All individuality is gone and all life will be meaningless.

why are they not here with us?
Because they haven't noticed us yet: we have been broadcasting radio waves into outer space since 1897 (first radio station). There are relatively few stars less than 112 light years away and chances are, none of the planets (if any) of these stars carry life. Even if there is life within this range, there is very, very little chance it's evolved enough and has the technology to travel interstellar systems.

The more intelligent the machine, the more power it needs, and the more power it needs, the more it needs to consume, that's why it would have to devour the world in order to work. But humans of course aren't stupid enough to create such an event, so they draw lines. Guess what? Along comes a guy and tells us that we don't need that line, and we do it anyways. That's how we'll get extinct, with human greed, opportunistic thinking, the "why not", etc.

The singularity is either impossible or will destroy this civilization. Why? Well we know that matter has always existed, right? That brings up billions of possibilities of other intelligent life forms like us having existed once in the universe. We could basically assume that the singularity is the destiny of all of them. Then why the hell are they not here with us? The singularity, together with nanotech, has the potential of blowing the world like the big bang; then it all starts again!

Every single person on Earth should see and understand the message on this video.
We are going fast wanted we or not. We must watch out for a collision or it will happen.

Thank you for this video! It is refreshing and empowering to finally hear someone speak so directly, clearly, and succinctly to what are not only incredibly poignant spiritual and philosophical concepts, but also the crux issues of our times. As I search the internet, I am hopeful to see that more people are becoming enlightened at younger ages. I still fear, however, that power-hungry forces will continue to suppress the masses, and many will suffer in our transition to technocentric existence.

And rather than expand on your "idea" you say his idea is stupid. Who is being ridiculous now?
