About Singularity Weblog
Singularity Weblog: Exploring Tech, Ethics & the Human Future
Welcome to Singularity Weblog — where we question assumptions, imagine alternatives, and shape the future through storyelling, conversations, and ethics.
Founded by Nikola Danaylov, this is where technology meets philosophy, exponential change meets human values, and we don’t just talk about the future — we interview and create it.
From AI and transhumanism to synthetic biology and techno-ethics, Singularity Weblog exists to challenge complacency, ignite meaningful conversation, and unlock the power of better questions.
Our true value lies not in the answers we provide, but in the questions we ask.
