Editing Transhumanism (section)

== The Singularity ==
The transhumanism movement is usually associated with an anticipated event called ''''the Singularity'''' To put it fucking simply, Humanity (or some other species) gets so fucking gud with its tech [[Dune|(or discovers some fuck off bullshit tech speed)]], they end up making something that sky rockets them through the tech tree at speeds that for many seem unimaginable. The causes can be super intelligent ai (that may also create even smarter super intelligences), transhuman super minds, super algorithms that are so impressive they can fucking research and develop shit ahead of human scientists and engineers, and other super bullshit. Its called 'the Singularity' because the original author said things are going to get so weird so fast there's no way to tell what any human culture will be like after this event, and it will serve as an unobservable "event horizon" just as with astronomical singularities like black holes. Some Transhumanists are convinced this event will usher in an ideal future, and some egotists amongst them will tell you at great length they know exactly what the future will look like post-Singularity. Because of this, it has also been sometimes deemed as a "nerd rapture".

'''Tl;dr''': The Singularity is to transhumanists exactly like the End Times is for many Abrahamic faiths (i.e. Judaism, Islam, and Christianity).
