Singularitarianism
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Singularitarianism is the Rapture for nerds. Invented by Vernor Vinge and stolen by His Extropic Divinity Raymondo Kurzweil III, this moral philosophy is based upon the belief that a technological singularity — the technological creation of smarter-than-human intelligence — is possible, and advocating deliberate action to bring it into effect and ensure its safety. Many futurists and transhumanists speculate on the possibility and nature of this type of singularity, often referred to as just the Singularity; capitalized and objectivized to indicate its sheer magnitude as a historical event. Singularitarians believe it is not only possible, but desirable if and only if guided safely. Accordingly, they "dedicate their lives" to acting in ways they believe will contribute to its safe arrival - in practice this means they take 170+ dietary supplements daily and will die from Sunset Yellow intoxication before Kingdom Come.
