What Singularity Weblog is all about:
Welcome to Singularity Weblog!
At Singularity Weblog, our mission is not to provide definitive answers but to ask the tough questions that generate discussion, provoke thought, and ignite the imagination. We aim to spark a conversation about the profound impact of technology, exponential growth, and artificial intelligence, encouraging everyone's opinions and participation.
Here, Socrates boldly shares his perspectives, not as the ultimate truth but as a catalyst for your involvement in the ever-evolving dialogue about humanity's future.
Our true value lies not in the answers we provide but in the questions we ask—the ones that everyone could and should be asking.
In addition to thought-provoking content, Singularity Weblog offers:
- Insightful articles by Socrates and his esteemed colleagues.
- Engaging podcast interviews with leading scientists, writers, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, journalists, philosophers, and artists.
- Highlights of relevant news stories, films, media, and scientific advancements.
Join us on this journey of exploration and discovery.
Together, we can create a better future and a 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.
For this reason, Nikola has spent the past 15 years producing over 1,000 articles and interviewing more than 300 of the world's best-known experts. He 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 Philosopher, Strategic Adviser, popular Blogger, and Podcast host. Danaylov distills complex trends into compelling stories that empower you to craft the future and reinvent uncertainty into opportunity.
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 attended NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, and completed the Graduate Studies Program at Singularity University.
