*If the Singularity happens a few years after Kurzweil's prediction then we
will have a few more years to prepare for the most significant event since
the Cambrian Explosion. Now let me ask you a question. What if... the
Singularity happens a few years BEFORE Kurzweil's prediction? *

*Regardless of if it's a few years late or early, when our descendants (or
Mr. Jupiter Brain if we have no descendents) look back at today's
developments from a historical perspective, worries about not having a
balance budget will seem like the captain of the Titanic worrying about the
deck chairs on his ship not being properly arranged.  *
