I notice a lot of similarity in the way articles like this discuss "the singularity" and how some preppers and survivalists discuss "when SHTF". Underlying the warning, there's a drooling sense of anticipation, as though a) they're so invested in the idea of the disaster that they hope something, anything, will happen to show that they were right all along, and b) they are so dissatisfied with the current state of the world that they want to see it break down. I don't think either one is a healthy or realistic approach to life.
