He makes the case that we’ll approach technological singularity (Omega) around 2040 (as do many other tech profits).
I like to contrast this with the MIT limits to growth model that says civilization will collapse around 2040.
Of course, you have to take both of these predictions with a grain of salt, but nevertheless, it feels true that we are accelerating toward an ambiguous point of either transcendence or demise.
So now imagine you go to see a movie. Which movie do you want to see: the one where someone gathers edible plants for 5 hours, or the one where we find out the fate of human civilization?
Basically, good or bad, I think we’re alive at the most exciting time.
