Hardly a sacred cow, and an arguable topic that has been debated on this
list in the past. Check the archives if you want some background.
Personal beliefs on singularities (not even necessarily "The Singularity")
vary widely on this list, as is evidenced in the list archives.
Come to think of it, *very* few things seem to be universal among
extropians; there has been open contention on just about every issue I can
think of.
