Collaborative Singularity

The point in history when humans have learned to collaborate. It is a singularity - a unique condition - in that it marks the opposite of Western civilization to date, which relies on competition in its economic system. This competition manifests as the polar opposites - of prosperity for some, and deprivation for many others.

The collaborative singularity can be seen as the opposite of the Technological Singularity - which does not rely on collaboration for its attainment, thus making its outcomes potentially dagnerouus. The inclusion of collaboration in human enterprise marks a turning point towards benign human development in harmony with both natural life support systems and anthropogenic technological systems.
