does imagining +singularity cause depression?

No. Conceivably there are people disposed toward depression at a given time and happen to include thoughts (and bitterness about missing) about a positive singularity in their negative thought spiral at some point. But in those cases I'm unlikely to be impressed with an explanation "imagining +singularity caused their depression". Even then I rather suspect negative singularity thoughts to be a more common toxic thought loop than positive singularity thoughts.
