Agreed, we’re willing to admit that people who think that the tech is centuries away are coping. But by far and large, we’re not willing to admit that believing life will be radically changed within a decade is complete and utter copium.

I think as the 2020s go by, we’ll start to see /r/singularity become less hostile to people who think it’s decades away as life doesn’t change that much for the average person from now until then.

Of course I could be wrong and we’re all enjoying luxury space communism in 2030, so I guess will have to wait and see.
