[ExI] Column- "Why the Singularity isn't going to happen"

[ablainey at aol.com]

 Im trying hard to to understand her point, but the more I think about it the more obvious it becomes that she doesn't have one. She has clearly formed a bigoted image of what a singularity believer is.


She says 'We are trying to undo the damage that penicillin did''  really? 'we' being humanity. Is this what she thinks the average person is trying to achieve? even as a lose metaphor for undoing the environmental damage caused by technogic advances, I can't think of anything less suitable than penicillin.

Annalee Newitz, if I remember correctly, has already written some very
nasty things about transhumanists...
