If the appropriate emotional response is to become depressed because superintelligence will destroy everything we value, I’m not sure that I want to have an appropriate emotional response. I’m quite happy to have some intellectual distance from it instead of being depressed.
I think the same is true for a lot of people even if people don’t like to admit it and rather self-deceive.

What is the appropriate emotional response? It sounds like you’re saying the appropriate one is denial, which, fair enough, is what some may choose.
