I’m a mathematician Von Neumann was a popularizer of technology as a singularity & was evoking a derivative and where a functions derivative is not defined. An infinite value like “as n -> 0: 1/n” This maths is what backs black singularity metaphor What’s your point? Or is it a singularity 🤣

*wannabe mathematician

*black hole singularity metaphor I imagine Von N was evoking math as a metaphor. The real popularizers were Ray Kurzwile - and he was directly evoking black holes Yes - mathematical singularities came before black hole ones. Obviously?

isn't that the quality that defines black holes - that you can't get any information out of them?

It is like an economic singularity where the basic laws of how to distribute resources through natural systems become meaningless because there is only artificial scarcity.

Wow - so like a singularity?
