The singularity isn’t about expansion of intelligence; for me, it’s about expansion of mind. Also understanding and thinking about what is possible to do and become in the universe doesn’t invalidate or cheapen our current experience or our past experiences, and I disagree with the idea that interest in the technological singularity correlates with dissatisfaction with current life.

It is clear that meaningfulness is a possible state of mind to obtain and I don’t see why that would change. I also disagree with the widespread misconception that with more intelligence comes a greater réalisation of the meaninglessness of life. I don’t think intelligence has anything to do with feelings of meaning.
