Let Me Tell You About the Singularity

You’ve Heard of it?

The Singularity?

The thing that’s mentioned in science fiction and 

Speculative philosophy

The ragnarok 

Of computer chaos

Or the abolition

Of all that restrains us

Depends on who you ask

Philip K Dick wrote about it

And it’s difficult to pin down

But when I spoke with my friends about it

On the grass across from Sather Gate

Mondays and Wednesdays

1 to 2

They helped me see 

Through their heady, brilliant, enthusiastic lenses

NASA scientist

Future spec op planner

Entrepreneur genius

Minds

That the singularity

Was the time

 when

Human consciousness 

and technology 

become 

one

That as soon as the human mind gives rise to a thought

Technology makes it a sharable reality

We are

Living 

in

(the beginning of)

 That Time

Our thoughts plug into a network of knowledge

And answers

Concepts

Evolution

Happen instantaneously

Do we have the power to work with it?

To build a shared future

For all?
