    ### This is a very troubling account of singularity, full of bizarre
    arguments, unfounded fears, scientific ignorance, environmentalist, leftist
    and authoritarian propaganda and a frank hostility to progress. The only
    bright part is the article by Vinge, and possibly the article by Jamais
    Cascio (unfortunately not available online).

    Let's hope no trees will get killed to spread this stuff.
