What Singularity Weblog is all about:
Singularity Weblog is not meant to provide definitive answers, but rather, to ask the tough questions in an attempt to generate discussion, provoke thought and stir the imagination. It aims to spark a conversation about the impact of technology, exponential growth and artificial intelligence where everyone's opinions and participation are greatly encouraged.
Here Socrates will not shy to provide his strong opinion but will place no claim on its superiority. His goal is to get you actively involved in the ever-evolving conversation about the future of humanity.
Thus, this blog's value may be not so much in the answers it provides, but in the Questions it raises — the kind that everybody could or should be asking.
In addition, Singularity Weblog will also:
- Post relevant articles by Socrates and his friends.
- Publish podcast interviews with the best scientists, writers, entrepreneurs, film-makers, journalists, philosophers and artists.
- Bring attention to relevant news stories, films, media, and scientific developments.
- Give you a platform to write and share your own great content.
Welcome friend!
Together we can create a better future, better you!

Who is Socrates [aka Nikola Danaylov]?
Like Socrates of Athens, Nikola Danaylov is deeply in love with learning but keenly aware that his personal knowledge is always going to be dwarfed by his ignorance. Yet, Nikola strongly believes we can attain profound insights by asking challenging questions in the company of good people gathered in an open, informal, and interactive symposium. Danaylov hopes to be the midwife and Singularity Weblog - the setting where you come to examine the questions, search for your answers, challenge, be challenged, and, ultimately, give birth to your own ideas.
It is for this reason that, having spent the past 15 years producing over 1,000 articles and interviewing more than 300 of the world's best-known experts, Nikola has gifted all his content for free - in the hope of helping you create a better future, better you.
#1 Bestselling Author of Conversations with the Future, Nikola Danaylov is a Keynote Speaker, Technology Raconteur, Futurist, Strategic Adviser, popular Blogger, and Podcast host.
In 1998 Nikola moved to Canada, where he completed an HBA in Political Science, Philosophy & Economics at the University of Toronto, followed by an MA in Political Science at York University.
At YorkU, Nikola became deeply interested in the Technological Singularity and wrote "Hacking Destiny: Critical Security at the Intersection of Human and Machine Intelligence."
In 2011 Nikola went to NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, and completed the Graduate Studies Program at Singularity University.
Nikola has spoken at public events on topics ranging from technology, transhumanism, and the technological singularity to new media, blogging, and podcasting. He has been profiled in Next Stage Rising Stars Magazine and has been interviewed for numerous documentary films, blogs, podcasts, magazines, and newspapers.
Nikola's Singularity.FM interviews have had over 7 million views on iTunes and YouTube and have been featured on international TV networks and other media, such as BBC, MTV, Space, ArteTV, TV Japan, Channel NewsAsia, RTL4, WIRED, the Telegraph, io9, the Huffington Post, ZDNet, BoingBoing, and others.
Today Singularity Weblog is among the biggest independent blogs on related topics. Singularity.FM is the original first and most widely recognized podcast in the niche, and, according to Prof. Roman Yampolskiy, Nikola has established himself as the "Larry King of the Singularity."
