Reply to comment by cloudrunner69 in When do you believe the singularity will happen? by Stranfort

that is one of most shit logic I've ever seen. the sub is about discussing singularity, and both the sides can participate in the discussion. it's not exclusive to those who believe and if it was, we would be circlejerking over and over.

So you think this sub is for people who disagree with the premise of the subs fundamental subject?

It's like going on a sub devoted to the discussion of Islam and telling everyone that you think their religion is bullshit. Or going on the longevity sub and telling everyone that they are all wrong and life extension medicine and treatment are impossible and will never happen. How do you think people should respond to someone who so vehemently disagrees with the main premise of a sub?

IT'S NOT CIRCLE JERKING IF IT'S CORRECT. SAYING EARTH IS ROUND IS NOT CIRCLE JERKING.

The argument that technology will exceed the complexity of our own is self evidently correct.

bro i don't think you understand the words you're using. yeah it's very likely, but it's not "self evident". first of all even saying sun will rise tomorrow, is not 100% true, tho chances of it not rising are astronomically low. and when we talk about something like technological singularity, where we have to consider millions of factors to predict what will happen in future, there is really no telling. you could say it's likely, but not it's "correct". science doesn't consider anything to be self evident. even 1+1=2 has 300 pages proof in principia mathematica. i know some people have this tendency to believe anything that will make them and their life special, it's exciting to believe that world will change in your lifetime, but there's a fine line between what you want and what you get.
