I am very suspicious about "the singularity." First of all, I don't think that living forever is something that would be as good as it sounds to us now. Maintaining the viability of the body is one thing, mental well-being is quite another issue entirely. It may be that living indefinitely is torture. Or maybe the statistical nature of dumb freak accidents will give virtually everyone a MTBF of only a couple hundred years? Secondly, there's a lot of things that could derail the singularity, whatever it is. Empires collapse. Shit happens. Who is to say that an economic or ecological catastrophe won't put an abrupt end to everything beyond getting to the next day?
