    Singularity - The Lisps

    Now, I've just found this song about the Technological Singularity few hours ago, and I have listened to it over and over since! So, without further delay, let's listen to this awesome song by a band called "The Lisps". I put the lyrics here, enjoy! (Singularity - SoundCloud)
    I’ll live to see a million things that men were never meant to see 
    my senses and my faculties are wired with machinery
    auditory optical touch and taste olfactory
    converted into data streams and flooding with some binary
    every piece of food you taste and every thought you cogitate
    every sound that you can hear and sight you see for years and years
    all stored up so conveniently on peta-bytes of memory
    so you can always reference them in case you forget anything

    Singularity, I don’t know

    now once all that experience can fit into an easy grid
    the existence is no longer something mentally projected
    the wires that you have inside are very easily realized
    through artificial imaging you duplicate 10 at a time
    your consciousness can be enjoyed by anyone forever more
    and you live in whatever state that you or anyone creates
    you could be a Giant Squirrel, a statue or a talking cat
    the Goodyear blimp, an etch a sketch, an octopus or a brain in a mat
    you’d have each and every memory and feeling to the one
    and now you can commence your life as an uploaded extropian

    Singularity, I don’t know

    my mother is so horrified by this post-human fantasy
    she says we’d lose that special thing that makes us human beings be
    but I don’t know I’m not so sure if humans are so good and pure
    perhaps we’d be much better off if we took these violent bodies off

    once everyone is in the cloud we’ll move beyond this earthly ground
    expanding into outer space as an informational signal race
    matter in the solar system converts into computing mass
    and the sun becomes a central orb of a brain that grows into the vast
    expanse of space and emptiness for light years and light centuries
    it replicates exponentially like a Russian doll in a cosmic dream
    when every spot of the universe is filled up it will promptly burst
    eradicating finally the experiment that we grew from earth
    as it explodes the brain will breathe into the dark impossibly
    and anti-matter all around will collapse the universe back down
    and right away what you would see if you were a fly in the vacancy
    all the light and color in the universe is collapsing

    and Time would stop

    and from a tiny pinhead point a massive bang erupts into space
    and trillions of new particles fly away at a photonic pace
    and once again the clock would start to tick and tock and tick and tock
    and Years would pass, billions or more before the tiny proteins locked
    and once again in the boiling seas of a miniscule blue anomaly
    a planet floating helplessly around a tiny ball so fiery
    an extraordinary corner of the universe would cradle it
    the flicker of intelligence that led us here and brought us this…
