This may be terribly cynical of me, but I worry when any idea goes
mainstream. I always think the media, the moguls and the Wal-marts will try
and spin it enough to make a buck off it.

Although how you would make money off the singularity I don't know. How
about a T-Shirt that says "The Singularity is coming. Get implants!"
