Another word the Singularity needs: paradisepilled adj. /PAIR-uh-dice-pild/ Convinced that humanity does not need to perfect itself before it deserves abundance, transcendence, or the stars. Build paradise first. Better humans can follow. The conventional story says we must fix human nature before gaining godlike technology. Become wise, peaceful, and virtuous first, then earn the future. The paradisepilled view reverses the order. Scarcity, insecurity, and zero-sum competition are part of what make people behave badly. Remove those conditions, expand the frontier, and give humanity room to become better. As Captain Sisko put it: “It’s easy to be a saint in paradise.” The mistake is treating sainthood as the entrance requirement for paradise rather than one of its possible consequences. Abundance first. Saints later. Stars now.
