I don't expect humanity to end in the near future, but I can definitely relate. I've internalized the idea of a technological singularity, not in the sense that everything will become incredibly awesome due to rapid technological advancement, but in the sense that attempting to make predictions beyond a horizon in the not so distant future is absolutely futile. I don't think mind uploading or interstellar colonization, I just get... blank.
