Wow! At this point I agree with 99.9% of what you’re saying. Where I disagree is anthropomorphism of what I think is more of a program in humanity’s DNA. Information will eventually convert this universe, and the singularity to post-humanity is just a part of the process. To attribute it to simple humans is giving a lot of credit indeed.

That being said, I agree there is a singularity of sorts of power among humans. Most members of the ruling elite are tools, the wielders of which, I believe at this point are the über-diaspora who are, in turn, tools of the universe program (for want of a better term).
