Jeron Lanier had more than a few things to say about the Singularity. One point he had that I happen to agree with is that liberal atheists cling to it the way conservative Christians cling to the Rapture. That said, the society we live in today is virtually unrecognizable to the society we lived in back in the 50s. Yeah, there are similarities, but we've come a long way, baby.
