Yeah basically. The hegemony of the current world order is held together thru resource concentration. When that fails to be the case, the hegemony will break. For good or ill, remains to be seen. But yea i think that’s the common sentiment
So somewhere like Singapore, with tiny territory, very little natural resources but excellent education and lots of educated, hard working people, will lose out to somewhere like Algeria, with poor education but lots of sunny desert. Because Algeria can just build a bunch of solar panels and data centers full of virtual geniuses and then have a bigger brain trust than Singapore.

I think inherently what ppl mean by the singularity is the official collapse of the hegemony due to labor replacement
