Well, I tend not to disagree with you concerning Islam (The Uma)
doing nothing about the Islamists, so that Kuffar lives (infidels)
don't really matter under Sharia Law; and no we shouldn't opt to live
under their Dhimmi Laws, in which we and our grandkids resign
ourselves to permanent 2nd or 3rd class status (If Pakistan is any
example?). The Ahmadis within Islam don't hold these values toward
kuffar, and are hated by Sunni & Shia for their 'disloyalty.' I can
see religions evolving because of this Singularity evolves, or
errupts, as you have indicated below. My idea of a Singularity is way
different from most people familiar with the term. I think that when
AI gets harnessed more & more to the task of improving on, and
creating wholly new inventions, this will change human life forever.
(For the better). Minsky's brain in a box is nice, and good for
stories and movies, but that is a secondary or tertiary thing.
The singularity belongs to the past, and is the discovery of the
universal machine or number, by Emil Post, Alan Turing, Alonzo Church,
Stephen Kleene, …
That machine is maximally intelligent and conscious (although in a
highly dissociated mode).
We can only make it more stupid. The “new” singularity is when the
machine will be as stupid as the humans.
"The human brain is limited after all, and mathematics and theoretical
science can't wait around for increasingly long periods of time for the
increasingly rare clairvoyant types required to understand things. On
that glorious day we get answers from vast computing machines which are
designed by other machines, running algorithms metaparsed by other
algorithms which we don't understand, producing proofs we can't possibly
fathom, we will have curiously returned to a state of affairs seen in
the ancient world where answers came from oracles. The sad bit is that
the oracles, such as at Delphi, were divine spirits channeled through
beautiful young women. In our future world our oracles will require
that we will stare at screens --- and call it progress."

The more neurons you have, the greatest is the range of the potential
stupidity, which accompanies intelligence, and the competence which
intelligence can make growing.
Intelligence and consciousness are simple. Competence is multiple,
have many incomparable degrees, is domain dependent, and it has a
negative feedback on Intelligence.
So it's actually /*because */Trump is a stable genius that he is so
incompetent!
