The singularity happened 250 years ago, anyone who talks about it as a future or present concern are not serious contenders or helpful to the task at hand. It's been the post apocalypse for a long time and your job is not to panic or prepare or survive, but to build civilization from scraps. The dream of liberalism is that every man be a king, and it has been long achieved. This was also the state of man in nature, before civilization. We are at the stage in the cycle where kings begin to unite through marriages and oaths into nations. It's been a world of 9 billion micro-nations, every man is an island. Now some are starting to conquer and some are starting to unite in other ways, and the 9 billion micronations will form into 1 billion slightly less Micro-nations, and so on and so on. Technology and Peter tiel and globalism is not the end times, it's not the antichrist. You're not in the revelation, you are walking in the desert out of Egypt. You haven't even made it out of Egypt yet
