Some ideas for philosophy and science. Part 1.

[Drashner1]

Wonderful!
I did not mean to make suggestions for the setting on how ethics work, I just thought that the idea of emotional intelligence growing in post-singularity beings to be interesting.

It is interesting and may apply to some transapients and archai in the setting - or not. Human level minds in OA can't catch a higher S-level in a lie if the higher being cares enough to make the effort to keep it up. The transapients and archai of the Sephirotics seem to often display extreme levels of what we would perhaps call emotional intelligence. But it's not clear if they are actually doing so or just pretending for their own reasons which may have nothing to do with modo well being or anything we could really understand. And the various ahuman transapients and archai seem to be as intelligent as the Sephirotic minds, but don't appear to care in the slightest about anything we would call emotional intelligence. So it's a very diverse setting in this regard.

By peace and love and technorapture, I mean that everyone becomes a transapient. I can of course see the Utopia Sphere and others.

By manipulation of topological defects I was thinking more on the lines of void motes and cosmic string.

If everyone becomes a transapient it makes for a very limited setting editorially since everyone becomes incomprehensible and we can't really describe or write about such a civilization. The different S-levels and large number of modosophonts in OA means that there is room for fun and interesting stories and ideas while still having strong superintelligences running around. It's been compared to Vernor Vinge's Zones of Thought universe, but using mental structure rather than physical effects.

Sorry to ask so many difficult questions, but I feel like this is a more appropriate community to ask ones such as these than, say, Reddit or Quora where I would get a lot of crap about Quantum woo and WELL IN MY SCIENCE FANTASY SETTING.

*shudder* No, please don't ever ask these kinds of questions - or any questions really - on Reddit or Quora. I trust answers from those sources about as far as I can shot-putt a car.
