Anyway, "loony" is not a very precisely defined term, in general.
Right - for the record when I use words like "loony" in this sort of context I'm not commenting on how someone might come across face to face (never having met him), nor on what a psychiatrist's report would read (not being a psychiatrist) - I'm using the word in exactly the same way that I would call someone loony for believing the Book of Revelations will literally come true at the end of the Mayan calendar, that they've been called to make a spiritual rendezvous with a flying saucer following a comet, etc.
Do you think that De Garis's scenario of a massive violent conflict
between pro and anti Singularity forces is not plausible?
When was the last time you saw ten geeks marching in formation, let alone ten million? Seriously, there's a better chance of massive violent conflict between likers of chocolate versus strawberry ice cream.
