Singularity Hypotheses Quotes

“Perhaps future generations, acting on the theory that science is the public, reproducible knowledge of humankind, will only label as "scientific" papers published in an open-access journal. If you charge for access to the knowledge, is it part of the knowledge of humankind? Can we trust a result if people must pay to criticize it? Is it really science?”
― Eliezer Yudkowsky, Singularity Hypotheses: A Scientific and Philosophical Assessment

“Increasing rates of change, together with constant or increasing lifespans, generically imply that individual lifetimes now see more change in capacity and in values. This creates more scope for conflict, wherein older generations dislike the values of younger more-powerful generations with whom their lives overlap.”
― Amnon H. Eden, Singularity Hypotheses: A Scientific and Philosophical Assessment
