Wow, Ben, you managed to exactly nail the issue I have with Eliezer's
efforts. Excuse me, but we are all IGNORANT when it comes the Singularity,
Eliezer, Ben, myself and everyone else included. Having a strong belief to
the contrary while attempting to create the Singularity ASAP is rather
frightening. And I don't have a tendency toward irrational fear, just self
preservation.
