Decoding World History shows an ironic solution to the mostly nonsense of the Singularity: homo sapiens is already embedded in an evolutionary 'machine' that directs the evolution of civilization and gives the appearance of a kind of AI and at the same time of being 'conscious'. The process is not malevolent as are so many AI fantasies (in part based on value-free science and Darwinian illusions).
The question of evolution is far more complex than we think but in essence on the level of visible history we can visualize to some extent how it works.
The eonic effect shows the way that a global system is needed, one that is we suspect teleological and which mediates human creation of history and a higher level of directed potentials. A similar process we suspect in early evolution, save that it is about organisms and not civilizations of humans.

The evidence speaks for itself. And a social transformation based on this model would do far better than the barren marxism.

It is important to see the confusion AI has created in considering 'conscious' machines that aren't conscious…
