SOCIAL SYSTEMS SINGULARITY PROBLEMS

Abstract

The beginning of the XXI century is a time of socio-anthropological and ecological tension and instability caused by the entry of humanity into the era of globalization, nooeconomics and nootechnologies, which generate significantly new requirements for the organization of the life of the megasocium and the development of a new development strategy aimed at overcoming civilizational rifts and challenges.

The nature of the social singularity is considered, taking into account the fact that demographic, economic, technological, cultural and other singularities can occur relatively independently. The tendencies of the development of technogenic civilization in the XXI century, the variety of development models of modern society, phase transitions, technological structures, the peculiarities of the impact on humans and modern society of new, transhumanist projects, accompanied by strategic instability, permanent crisis, moral decline and degradation are described. However, chaos has creative power and, under certain conditions, can give rise to a new order. Previous crises of global systems were resolved in the direction of progress, but the opposite direction to decline is quite possible. Society is not just an external observer of the ongoing co-evolutionary processes, but one of the most important factors of co-evolutionary development. In order for humanity as a whole to survive the twenty-first century and live in the following centuries, it needs to understand the inevitability of the impending singular catastrophe, to develop a new planetary consciousness that contributes to achieving relative balance.
