The Political Singularity hypothesis:
At some point in the 21st century, global and national politics will center entirely around the questions related to the (a) creation and (b) control of posthuman intelligence.
Essentially, when post-human intelligence comes into view for the average first world citizen (through a disaster or otherwise), it will be the preeminent concern for citizens – and consequently for the politicians who serve and pander to them.
Beyond a specific threshold of capability, nothing else in the political realm (will we build a new playground for the elementary school? Which candidate is pro or anti-immigration? etc…) will matter AT ALL by comparison.
