	Theodore Kaczynski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theodore John "Ted" Kaczynski (born May 22, 1942) is a terrorist and anarcho-primitivist who became infamous as a mail bomber, sending bombs to several universities and airlines from the late 1970s through the early 1990s, killing three people and wounding 29.
		He stated that the only alternative to technological subjugation in the near future was to completely reject all technology as an ideological first principle.
		This would involve arguing for a return to a life close to nature and in which the "power process", a psychological need he described as the ability to solve one's own problems and have power over one's life, is fulfilled.

		In such situations, we need not be surprised to find that the Indian in the car - estranging and somehow unfair - became the subject of humor and critique.
		Jokes, songs, poems, postcards, and stories about Geronimo's Cadillac and other occasions of Indian automobility allowed the stories of Indian primitivism and white technological progress to maintain a distinct separation from Indian drivers and, thus, to retain their power as images.
		Making this choice, of course, meant yet another refusal on the part of Americans to view Indians as real people whose relation to automobiles was similar to their own.

		THE SINGULARITY: In futurology, a technological singularity is a predicted point in the development of a civilisation at which technological progress accelerates beyond the ability of present-day humans to fully comprehend or predict.
		The singularity can more specifically refer to the advent of smarter-than-human intelligence, and the cascading technological progress assumed to follow.
		From robotic lawnmowers to intelligent lighting, washing machines and even car engines that self-diagnose faults, there's a silicon brain in just about every modern device you can think of.

		Of course, I doubt anyone understands what intelligence is, despite centuries of research and billions of dollars invested in the last 30 years on AI research.So, I’m not expecting a big breakthrough in AI research soon.
		The problem is that right now, R&D is done by humans are humans are limited: we can only adapt so fast to change.
