Do we really need to hear what people who think that the singularity = the
inflection point in an asymptotic (or S) curve describing some aspect of
global change think? The word/meme singularity isn't SL4 anymore, more like
SL2. No discussion of "accelerating change" is realistically >SL3. SL4
deals with actual analysis of the development and effects of >human
intelligence, or at least with topics which don't belong on Extropians.
