Don't forget all the smart people whom are sceptical of foom or of the scary idea in general, i.e. vast majority of those even remotely qualified. You are creating a cherry picked set here.

Who criticized FOOM or scary idea before 1993?

Who criticized God before theists started promoting the notion? The heavily privileged hypotheses aren't criticized explicitly before they for some reason become popular. (the people just voice out different opinions). You can ask Hanson what he thinks about it. Or Ray Kurzweil .

My timeline in this post ends in 1993, is all I'm saying. Let me know if you find criticism of FOOM or Scary Idea before 1993.
