Since you've claimed such a fantastic name, what would you call the following:<br>
<br>
The Singularity is an asymptotically approachable yet unattainable<br>
point that is always lurking in the mind of man. Given the wildest<br>
dreams of a representative human from any epoc in history, the<br>
everyday reality of those living in the next epoc are endowed with<br>
godlike powers and two epocs later are simply unimaginable. I believe<br>
this is not going to happen as much as it's a feature of the<br>
landscape. The hill we are climbing will always have a next higher<br>
peak. All that have come before serve only to prove that we will<br>
realize the goal of climbing collectively to better place. This<br>
singularity isn't a monumental event; it's the driving force in every<br>
moment.<br></blockquote></div><div style="visibility: hidden; display: inline;" id="avg_ls_inline_popup"></div><style type="text/css">#avg_ls_inline_popup { position:absolute; z-index:9999; padding: 0px 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 240px; overflow: hidden; word-wrap: break-word; color: black; font-size: 10px; text-align: left; line-height: 13px;}</style>
