But I was aiming to signal something like "interesting and plausible enough to contact him and find out more" — maybe I'm overshooting that

I should note that I was just responding to the previous comment here; I hadn't seen your profile yet

P.S. ...I just recognized your username! You messaged me a few months ago

but now I have to go see. Oh, yeah! I remember you.

Turned out I was too shy to reply. Sorry :(

No worries. :)

Your description of your sexuality sounds just about like the mirror image of mine. It's tricky to describe, isn't it? I took a crack at it in my "message me" section but I don't know how good a job it does of explaining.

Anyway, about the strength of your statements re: singularity et al ... I think the only part that I would expect to make someone o_O is the throwaway mark about humanity probably not surviving this century. I don't think most humans believe that to be the case. Whether they've ever really thought about it or learned why anyone else thinks so is not the point; they don't, so that might come off as crazy. Up to you whether to care.
