I was going to comment something similar but not quite as negative. I don't think the singularity is "impossible" now, but I do think we're moving much more slowly toward it than if capital were allocated more efficiently, and if we were not significantly distracted by political issues that are taking up far more of our energy than they should. Technology is still advancing, so we're still inching ahead, and that means that whenever we take our foot off the breaks (by focusing less on politics, or improving capital allocation) we'll get to dramatic progress faster, but unfortunately it is slowed down enough that we might not reach dramatic progress similar to the "singularity" in my lifetime.
