Someone Already Took Brave New Singularity as a Title, Which I Thought Was Kinda Adorable. I Apologize if the Latter Half is Nonsensical, I Wrote This Tired-ly...

In the realm of natural science (think, astrophysics), a Singularity is the center of a Black Hole. At this center, all matter, energy, space, time, and a good deal of even more interesting things are compressed by the power of gravity into a single, super-dense point, with all distinguishing marks literally squished away. On a more Earthly level, the term denotes a point in time, where the separate worlds of human thought and invention and human physiology shall be compressed by the power of human thought into one indistinguishable being, that never dies, or, in that sense, changes, and "when that happens, humanity- our bodies, our minds, our civilization- will be completely and irreversibly transformed" (Grossman 1). The article from which that random quote is from then went on to describe how machines may one day reach the same level of intelligence as humans, from super smart computers, accelerating to Wall-e status, before reaching tyrannical I-Robot level, and beyond.
The article took a different turn of direction, instead deciding that humans and robots would merge, into one being, a singularity of sorts, where humans/robots (Hobots? Rumans? I know, let's call them cyborgs) would have ever expanding intelligence and abilities. Disease, pain, and finally, the greatest unknown, death, would be conquered by the cyborgs' ever expanding knowledge. In a sense, denying the unknown, the pain, the sense of all that is not good, is, essentially, denying humans of part of the fundamental aspects of humanity, according to some. This reflects the argument put forth by A. Huxley in his novel Brave New World, where everyone is a part of a social body, like a cell in a human body. However, they aren't anything like a human; sure, both we and them talk, play, work, and have... fun together, but the Brave New Worldians are preconditioned biological machines, made on a factory line where they are pre-programed into certain tasks. The novel's outcry was of that against a technology driven society, for they become like the technology, ruthlessly efficient, never thinking, and always controlled by some higher up. In the Singularity, the humans literally become the technology.
A major point to be recognized, however, is that humanity may not be denied. By destroying death, would we destroy humanity? My guinea pig died today (God-forbid it be the useless one that never let you pet it; no, it had to be the cool one), yet, it is not a human. It was likely sick with disease, yet it wasn't a human. My sister cried over it. She was a human (still is, actually). Mama animals also cry (or some equivalent of mourning) when their young are taken or killed by the dead-beat dad, or are otherwise removed. Yet, we consider these things an act or expression of "humanity." The truth is, "humanity" doesn't exist: before we had society and technology ruling, we had (and some still have) Religion to call the shots. Humans always organized themselves to be a part of a grander scheme of society; my (zealously) religious mother likes to discuss God's plan, which involves doing what "He" (or she, no one really checked) wants to be done to bring humanity together. Even though, in such religion, my pastor might declare that God "saves' humanity, and is the source of it, it is really just a tool to allow humans to be machines before they even knew what machines were; a cog in the plan of a "Greater One" who presses all of the buttons. Therefore, there is no "authentically human," but rather, a collection of beings who exist on a rock in space.
Bernard, a character of Brave New World, dreamed of a paradise where man is in a supreme state of existence. Truth was, he was in it. Society was functioning as it should, and only Bernard, likely an accident of production, his abnormally intelligent friend, and a complete outsider saw any flaws. If that society learns to better engineer its people (which, with ever expanding technologies, it will be better able to), everybody would be "happy" or at least, content, in a smoothly running machine world. Seeing as humanity is really just a fictitious idea, there would be no problems.
