The Secret Of The Wealth Singularity

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Arthur C. Clarke”Profiles of The Future”, 1961 (Clarke’s third law)
A 2006 movie called the Secret swept up a vast audience of wealth-seekers with a message that a law existed that would help them attract prosperity and abundance.
It was called the Law of Attraction.
As proof, the video and book series offered captains of industry and moneymakers of the past who reportedly tapped into this secret to build massive amounts of wealth.
Not everyone was convinced of the Secret, however. Critics and skeptic believe the Law of Attraction flew in the face of other more-widely accepted laws of nature. These wealth-generating captains of industry didn’t use any metaphysical law to earn their fortune, these critics allege.
Whether they used some New Thought precept or not, what is indisputable is that the wealthy mentioned in the Secret did align themselves with a law that is becoming more accepted. It is technology that is leading us to a Wealth Singularity. And it will introduce us to the Secret 2.0.
From Rockefeller to Gates, from Carnegie to Brin, masters of wealth are always early adopters and early exploiters of technology. Technology has always been–and always will be–the keys to wealth creation.
People who create massive amounts of wealth are often technological visionaries.
- Rockefeller saw that oil would be the blood of the 20th century.
- Carnegie constantly relied on his technologists to produce better, stronger, and cheaper steel.
- Gates envisioned the PC revolution.
- Sergey Brin and Larry Page considered the massive informational potential of the Internet and democratized (and monetized) it.
Each phase of technology created more wealth.
And it isn’t stopping. The next wave of technology will produce more wealth and produce it instantaneously. Who will be the first to master these technologies and how far will that wave of wealth take them?
