Ecological Singularity

Description

"Echoing the dramatic changes that the technological singularity will impose upon humans, the ecological singularity could be defined as period in time that will see an end to the global development of humanity and the beginning of declining living and health conditions. The precise date is of course difficult to forecast but it will be inevitable and globally accepted by the political and economic leaders.

Profound, yet progressive, transformations will ensue and affect all aspects of human life: cultures, ways of thinking, scientific methods, religious beliefs and spirituality. It is of course impossible to anticipate how these transformations will occur. The new adaptation schemes will be faced with the constraints of human life resulting in an overall decline with political, economic, social and demographic consequences on our world.

In contrast to a very ambitious but hardly feasible technological singularity – too costly, thus benefiting only a small group of people and dependent on limited resources – the ecological singularity is actually happening now. We like to imagine things are one way concerning the future while ignoring what is happening before our very eyes." (http://www.theorie-de-tout.fr/2016/02/01/ecological-singularity/)
