alt Hacker NewsI totally agree with all your points except welcoming the singularity.
How do you imagine your or your children's lives in the singularity?
What do you do there for a living, or which hobbies do you pursue in the best case it frees you and everyone around to pursuit nothing but hobbies?
What do you do in the worst case it pushes everyone to underground strongholds to fight machines for the survival of the humankind?
And if there's some middle ground, how is it different from today's state of affairs?

I could absolutely fill my days with stuff, no problem
I'd play games, read books and do drugs.
It'd be different from today's state of affairs in that I wouldn't need to spend the majority of my waking hours reading stuff I don't care about and building things I don't believe need to exist in order to pay for a house I don't own. Healthcare would probably be more reliable and accessible too.
At this point though, I no longer believe this is anyone's future except the most fortunate of the fortunate, most of whom essentially live this way already.
