Back in January I predicted that 2025 would be the last normal year ... so now it looks like my prediction is on track for being proven correct... so my prediction was proven to be wrong... so my prediction was right ... so I'm very confused.... so I guess the Singularity is happening.

But 2025 was not a normal year.  By that reasoning the singularity already happened.  But it is difficult to define objectively when it happened.  We might be stuck with something like defining the singularity by some percentage of biological humans perishing, some five sigma number, ten times the average mortality for instance.  If I were to estimate an average mortality, there are about 8 billion humans and we live about 80 years on the average, so about a hundred million proles perish every year to maintain those numbers, ja?  We might be stuck with defining the singularity as a year when a billion humans perish.

Wow that’s dark.  Suggestions please?
