Ahem.
It's wonderful using words in arguments when you get to redefine them. Who's the source for the alternate definition, the one that replaced "one who believes the concept of a Singularity" and the one more complex than "activist for the Singularity"? Hmmm...
I also love that you equate "working toward bringing about the Singularity" with donating money to your Institute or being on a mailing list.
Seekers of truth do not attempt to hardwire goals and evaluations means into entities they create, whether deistic or merely offspring. Only Guardians value their beliefs so much that they attempt to transmit them as arbitrary, received 'wisdom'.
