Abstract
Science, consciousness, and integralityIn this presentation we will look at evidence for an emerging technological singularity. What this means, current research and projects, and advances in various scientific fields will be explored. We will review how consciousness relates to this issue, scientific/yogic models for consciousness, and arguments for and against this possibility. Finally we will examine some moral, legal, technical, and spiritual challenges that we will face in the future.
