Blindsided by the Singularity: The Comedy of Unseen Progress

The Jocular Pugilists

Why stand still when you can run headfirst into a wall? In this episode of The Jocular Pugilists, Tomas and Phil dive into the rapid advancements of technology and how we’re often blissfully unaware of the exponential growth shaping our world. From the transformative power of language to the futuristic potential of graphene, we explore the milestones that have brought us to the brink of the singularity—a point where technological progress becomes so fast and profound that life as we know it will be fundamentally transformed.
Join us for a thought-provoking and humor-laden journey through time, examining the moments of technological brilliance and the inevitable blind spots that come with living in such a fast-paced era. Are we ready for what’s coming, or are we too busy catching up with the last wave of innovations? Find out as we laugh and learn our way to understanding the incredible, and sometimes invisible, changes happening all around us.
Tune in and prepare to be amazed by how much we’ve achieved and how much we might be missing!
