Date 1998-06 · publication Wording attested 1999-01-28. Wayback capture of the author-hosted page. Role Context Register (kind of text) Nonfiction Missing element No statement that economics has neglected or taken up the topic; it sets a standard for advocates. Tier Tier 1. Journal article by an author with economist standing in 1998: the archived January 1999 homepage and vita show an economics address, economics teaching in 1995–96 and economics publications before 1998 (checked by the GPT review on 2026-10-15; web.archive.org was not reachable in the correction pass). The vita gives a 1997 PhD without naming the field, so "economics PhD" is not claimed. Scope and limits A demand that singularity claims be put into economic terms; not a statement about what the economics literature has done. Published in a transhumanist journal, not an economics venue. E05 boundary, option A (maintainer decision of 2026-10-15): bears on E05, because it sets a standard for advocates of a singularity and says nothing about the state of economics on the topic.
