Technological Singularity

> examples:
> 1) You (being an ordinary human) go to a job interview, you think you have

     The superman doesn't get the job, because the interviewer only has
an IQ of 135 and doesn't want the superman to eventually take his job.

> 2) You plan to go to a party but you get a cold and dont feel up to it. A
> superman doesn't get the cold because of his enhanced immune system and so
> he goes to the party and meets the girl you would have met.

   Who turns out to be an aggressive sociopath.

> 3) Your in a head on collision in your car with a car driven by a superman,
> you both have similar injuries but you die and he lives because his enhanced
> metabolism keeps him alive the crucial extra minutes on the trip to
> hospital.

    The superman dies because his enhanced metabolism drains his energy
reserves while your inferior body goes into an idle mode.

   Why does anybody predict the far future?
