Ok, we have a serious problem with upvoating any criticism of common memes no mater how inane for fear of seeming phlygish. If this was about just about any other subject it’d be downvoted to oblivion.
That’s possible, but I find it more likely that we have a silent majority of people who are on the periphery of the community and are uncomfortable with a lot of the singularitarian memes. I think that a lot of internet communities with voting have a lot of people who vote but don’t comment or comment only occasionally, so you’d expect that voting would reflect more peripheral members more strongly than the discussion would.

The singularity have diverse connotations; is good to specify what memes you’re thinking.
I mean the ones that most prominent LWers endorse.
