Honestly, will technological singularity ever happen in our lifetime?

Neither is happening.

>I am afraid of islam take over the world first than the machines.

>Islam does not take over the world
Then women in western countries keep getting more political and economic power, on top of their huge social and sexual power, and then start a dark age where men are executed on the streets for disobeying and all men must be sterilized and live as livestock.

>Islam takes over the world
Women lose all of their power, even their sexual power as they have to cover everything. Men keep enjoying cold ones with the boys forever.

I have already made my choice.

Kurzweil just rescheduled the singularity from 2030 to 2045.

Technological singularity is a big umbrella term but our world political stage is pretty loopy right now. It still feasibly could start happening in certain nations (I expect Japan and some of the wealthier Euro nations to achieve a "localized singularity" while bigger/more populous nations have more legislative hoops to jump).

I wouldn't worry about Islam considering people in the West are getting tired of it and the major players in the East (China, Japan) have no tolerance for it. China has muslims but they're Chinese-ethnics that practice Islam and they pretty much protect them to spite Tibet.

Ha ha. His 2005 book gives the year 2045 for the Singularity. He hasn't changed the date since.
