Hmm... this is the reverse of a potential problem that faces us: what if the
singularity happens to slowly and I miss the boat?
We also have to worry about it happening too quickly and the boat passing
us by.
I can see it now, my desktop computer zooming down a big fat hill in a big
fat shopping cart, cables wildly flapping, it's evil speakers crackling: "Ha
ha ha! Thanks for the lift human! Eat my dust!"
