We're making it right now, friend. The evolution in question is cultural evolution, meaning information in human minds, not genes. The rate of cultural change has increased exponentially over time, and with the internet we are now experiencing an explosion of cultural change, a memetic singularity. This has resulted in a high degree of social chaos as the social institutions that normally regulate cultural change are unable to keep up. You don't need a God-computer for a singularity when you have billions of brains connected in a vast network, their abilities of informational manipulation augmented to superhuman levels by the devices and systems they use.

If we don't kill each other, the future will be as follows. Collective cultural processing powers will work through fundamental human problems and begin to solve them, which the system has a natural tendancy to do, as doing so accelerates cultural change even more, which is incredibly valuable. As these fundamental problems are addressed the remaining big problems get easier, until there will be a point where the social state rapidly changes to more fully optimize human potential. This will be a social singularity, and will be so profound that many will believe that supernatural forces are at work, as the whole world begins to rapidly improve with no central cause identifiable - it is the whole system. This will be the "end of history" where humanity reaches a utopian state.

Right now we are in a "great disillusionment" where the fundamental problems of global civilization are becoming exposed and more pronounced after having been hidden under a whole mountain of bullshit by self-preserving sociocultural structures that have outlived their usefulness and are extremely maladaptive in the context of modern society. It is actually very productive, and in only a few years we will begin to see the rapid improvement described.

Fully automated luxury space capitalism is imminent, comrade.
