Also the most difficult to define. Part of the process of developing a
positive singularity is to define what it means to be human, and which parts
are important and which are not; losing essential parts would be a negative
singularity.
Perhaps we don't know enough to even begin to make probability statements on
such things with regards to a Singularity. Whenever I try to rephrase the
question to coherently define what I meant by "humanity," it becomes a far
murkier concept.
In the interest of further discussion, I would ask that you define it
however you would like, and then assign a probability based on that
definition. Possibly even multiple definitions with different
probabilities.
