To be fair, his singularity isn't apocalyptic. It's just a point after which we really have no idea what is going to happen.

If that's true then it means I won't have to go to my dentist appointment on the 6th. :lol:
Okay, seriously, the people who spread this crap really need to be ignored whether it's Christian heretics, Muslims, or old smoked out hippies promoting old Mayan beliefs.

Yes, of course - but the waiting for Godot thing is related.

What happens if we attain the Kurzweil singularity just BEFORE or just AFTER the rapture?
