Such an event can't be understated, even if it is hypothetical
@Skellington i can give you a 3 hour podcast of land trying to lay his later thinking out if that interests you
Sure
@Bunyip but like. Why would you want to accelerate the extinction of humanity as we know it

you tell me
Gives me conniptions
you could also read him as a prophet of the singularity rather then just a activist for its arrival
and Land does have his prophetic moments
which singularity the technological singularity or the asteroid hitting earth singularity
Techno
which technological singularity the "humans turn into grey goo" technological singularity, or the "humans encode their minds into computers and merge with AI" technological singularity
or the cool one where humans encode themselves onto photons and live inside the electromagnetic field
that my favorite
all of the above
we won't know the structure of the singularity until it hits and at that point it is too late
im redy
what about the human mind
as we know it? no, gone
the human experience? nope gone as well
what if the singularity already happened and it was the big bang
and we are post-singularity right now
🤔
then it would be a repeating cycle
retro-causal
the singularity, if possible (because physics and real world limitations), would be such a shattering event for humanity. Humanity wouldn't even factor into it.
as time goes on, technological capability increases drastically
of course, in any function you have the "vertical line test", but the singularity would effectively look like a line going straight up
Where the "x" is time and the "y" is processing power/capability
If we existed in the singularity, there is no reason that it wouldn't happen again.
what if everything is quantized
then big bangs happen every second and we are in just one version
also this
well yeah if you are made of matter you cant do much of anything
