There is absolutely no intersection between zen and the singularity. If
anything they are opposite, since zen is an attempt at stopping the rational
mind (which can be fun, and entertaining, and educational, and inspiring,
but still delusional), and the singularity is about thought pumped up to the
extreme.

You're not supposed to talk while you do zazen. :)
