Math Geeks and Singularities

Singularity News has a great post entitled "Three Reasons to be a Math Geek." Follow the link, then follow the three links to learn the three reasons. The future looks good for math geeks, but since more males than females are likely to be drawn to math geekhood, the whole issue teeters on the brink of political incorrectness.

The Speculist offers an interesting short essay entitled "God and the Singularity." In it, he addresses some of the same points I briefly discussed in Next Level vs Singularity, The Speculist approaches the issue from a different perspective, more informed from a singularity perspective.

Micah, at Event Horizon, has a post "When Machines Transcend the Mechanical." This posting likewise deals with some of the same concerns about the singularity addressed in the above links.

Geekpress links to a short Kurzweil interview about the singularity. The link to the interview is here.
