I dont like the fact that he uses the term 'singularity'. To me, that has a specific mathematical meaning. I'm sure he sees parallels between his meaning and math's. But its far to sloppy for my liking.
Kurzweil does the same thing. And in his case, I'm on board with half of his thoughts. But his adopting of the word 'singularity' is too sensationalist and sloppy for me.

Yeah, it's kind of confusing the way he tosses notions like Singularity, God and "The Other" around in some of his talks.
Most of the time he's talking about "a singularity" in the video, though, it seems like he's just using the word in a similar sense to a mechanical singularity.
But, then again, I'm not even sure McKenna knew what he was talking about a lot of the time, haha.

I'm the same with Kurzweil, but words have different meanings.
When I say the word 'ball' it could be a basketball, football, soccer ball, etc. Same with singularity, it all depends on the context.
I think the history channel makes mckenna seem to be when he really wasn't.
