sounds like you think the singularity is going to co-exist with individual entities living out their individual lives. that seems like a very strange dichotomy. man's various philosophies don't matter. if the singularity is right then we need to bring it it to bear so we can merge with it and it can leverage us however is necessary for it to evolve. if thinking about such things bothers you, then you probably don't want to see the singularity come to pass
