"The death of the old, and
the birth of the new. The destruction of the human being in favor of the
posthuman being. This is part of the mystic and alchemical significance
of the so-called Technological Singularity."

Age of Transitions", Aaron Franz, and uploaded originally by

http://www.theageoftransitions.com/images/stories/documents/Revolve_chap1.pdf I am in favor of the
transhumanist future... but... all these voices barking at the tires
of a great machine as it takes shape are signaling caution: here is
a danger like no other, it dwarfs the horror of Mutual Assured
Destruction with its menace of the nuclear obliteration of
civilization from atomic bombs & too; The Singularity could also
produce a grand Disneytopia for the everyman.
Do we dare engineer our own apotheosis, or is
it going to be as the neo-luddite loose cannon, the Unabomber,
warned.
What's it going to be: mass extermination so
the masters of the machine have the Earth, or the
Stars?
