I am v-e-r-y uneasy about some sort of super-being evolving as part of the 
Singularity.

Maybe a really intelligent being would not harm us, either because it was 
against its ethics or because it didn't even notice us.

Maybe . . .

But we are the most intelligent thing on Earth at the moment and we are 
spending a lot of time and effort in finding new and innovative ways of 
killing off each other.  Meanwhile; almost by accident; we have also caused 
mass extinctions of a scale on par with any previous mass extinctions.

Maybe . . . the next super intelligence won't do what we did.

Maybe . . .

Long life (maybe. . . )

Marta
