We are nearing a technological singularity, beyond which technology will advance so quickly so as to be beyond comprehension, lifting most things that get in the way of the ability to achieve self-actualization.

Maybe, but that, too, may be based on wishful thinking. If technoligcal advances can eliminate poverty and bring universal education and prosperity, so that eventually we can move into space and ensure the survival of life, I will be satisfied.

Exactly right, but the choice is ours only if we can grasp the opportunity while we have it. Vote Democratic in the USA this year. We've had enough of the Repugligans to last a millennium.
