Hi Utopia, 

Do take Damien's comment as the constructive criticism he intended please.
When Eli used to hang out here, his theme went something like this:  The
singularity is coming regardless.  Let us work to make it a positive thing.

My constructive criticism of your earlier posts was that your theme is: the
singularity will be a positive thing regardless.

Can you see why Eli would find that attitude annoying and dangerous?  Do you
see why plenty of people here would find that notion annoying and dangerous?
The singularity is not necessarily a good thing, but we know that a
no-singularity future is a bad thing.  I am in Eli's camp: if we work at it,
we can make it a good thing.
