Suppose that Robin Hanson is right about the Singularity (no discontinuity, no singleton, just rapid economic doubling until technology reaches physical limits, at which point it's a hardscrapple expansion through the future lightcone for those rich enough to afford descendants), and that furthermore, EY knows it and has been trying to deceive the rest of us in order to fund an early AI, and thus grab a share of the Singularity pie for himself and a few chosen friends.

It would be clearer to say that Robin is right about the future, that there will not be a singularity. A hardscrapple race through the frontier basically just isn't one.
