Singularity avoids political incorrectness

Ray Kurzweil's Singularity, predicting that humans and machines will merge around 2045, during an era of conscious machines, when human genes merge with artificial molecular robots, which might seem politically incorrect but is really another dazzling way to avoid far more politically incorrect genetic engineering and human selection.

Singularity needs to be adjusted to the pattern of evolution, respecting the millions of years of natural selection of life that is wiser than we are. Molecular robots and such, which can be used in positive ways, need not be done at the expense of genetic engineering patterned after natural evolution. We want to avoid the great blowback monster Golem destroying all life and evolution.
