>our life is generally better than 2012 is it not?

Definitely not. Technology has improved a lot but the economy is collapsing, quality of life is eroding, we're seeing the first death throes of our biosphere and fascists have been getting elected all over the world.

The singularity will not be the utopia the fanatics in this sub preach about if we don't improve our political systems as well.

I do too but we need to get there by working with what we have.

Reliable housing and self determination are more important than my car being a transformer.

Imagine that. The true singularity is expressed in social effects.
