But I'm old now. I need to take several minutes to warm up and loosen my ankles and other joints before this burst of activity.
Otherwise I'm likely to burst something else.

This will be a complete disaster and the end of the human experiment. That's my prediction.
Whether or not the technological singularity brings us into a new era for humanity, or closes the book on our story, I think depends 100% on who controls the technology.
Currently, it's the same people who control the world: the oligarchy. People who have no concern for human or other life.
If they are still in control at the point where technology basically becomes magic, then they will be forever unassailable.
Right now, we're no where close to any kind of democratic control of technology or the world in general. So things aren't looking good.
Everything depends on the next few years, I'd say.

The language here and that intended purpose is just so abhorrently gross.
