From the transcript:

Catherine: And this is a very important topic, so maybe we ought to start off with what in the world is “singularity,” and why in the world do we want the Solari Report subscribers to know about this and think about this? Because you know, I will underscore, I think this is an unbelievably important thing for us to be thinking about and talking about now. But why don’t you kick it off? What is singularity, and why should we care?

Jon: Well, singularity is the idea that there’s going to be a point in history which our guy, Ray Kurzweil, who we’re going to talk about tonight, predicts will be in 2045 when machines will become smarter than humans, or to put it another way when a machine brain is created that vastly outdistances or at least equals the full capacity of the brain. And the reason that we’re talking about this tonight is because this represents a technocratic view of what’s coming right up on the horizon: machines, robots, technology and so on and the idea that humans are going to have to somehow merge with machines in order to catch up to the singularity.

And although this sounds extremely esoteric and far out, these futurists and technocrats are very serious about what they’re talking about. And indeed there are many technological developments that are here now and that are coming very soon that will deliver to us the necessity of making some very serious choices about the way we want to live. And that’s why we’re talking about this tonight.
