I really like your view on that topic! I I think we are approaching an singularity in the mathematical sense (faster and faster progress and reaching a point where we hardly could say what comes after it) It could be technically utopia or dystopia or the collapse of society or if we choose not to let a few billionaires decide for us all something different. Here is a short post I've written about that topic today: https://theafh.substack.com/p/the-last-day-on-the-lake
Thank you for your thoughtful response! I completely agree with your perspective—approaching a singularity does feel like standing on the brink of an undefined future. The acceleration of progress is both exhilarating and terrifying because, as you say, what comes after is anyone's guess.
Your point about who gets to decide what this future looks like is especially critical. If we leave it to a few individuals or corporations, we risk walking into a dystopia shaped by narrow interests. But if society as a whole takes agency, we could steer this toward something transformative, equitable, and sustainable.
I loved your post, "The Last Day on the Lake." The lily metaphor is such a striking way to visualize exponential growth hitting its limits—it really drives home the urgency of choosing wisely before we reach "day 49." Let's hope more people engage with these ideas and contribute to shaping what comes next. 🌱✨
Thank you! I really hope to find like-minded people here on this platform to sparc that discussion, I think it's really nessecary! 😊
