Most people have spent their lifetime watching people completely fail at predicting even the immediate future. Dismissing predictions of the singularity as scifi bullshit isn't a lack of sanity, it's basic extrapolation.
- Jkeg 16y agoSo these people think they are better predictors of the future than all the people who failed, even though they probably never made a serious prediction themselves? They believe something is never going to happen just because it hasn't happened yet? Sounds highly irrational to me.
- Avshalom 16y agoThere is a MASSIVE difference between "you're wrong" and "I'm right". Calling the singularity bullshit in a casual conversation is an example of the prior.
