It seemed like nothing but applause lights to me, though they’re damned good applause lights. I won’t spoil it, but there’s a bit late in the video that really caused a delightful change of perspective for me.
It’s anti-singularity if anything, and makes only a vague gesture towards rationality.
I personally loved this video. Such beautiful dreams! It made me feel like there was a great deal that was possible, and had I believed I wouldn’t be alive to see it myself, I would be filled with regret. I think it has the power to make people dream of watching galaxies rise from distant worlds. Even if it’s not so much about rationality, I feel it speaks well for science. At least, it shatters the common mis-impression that science makes everything mundane.

The conclusion of the video is that reaching the stars is easy compared to overcoming bias. It states, ”...we can succeed, the biggest problem is us...the ape that we each carry inside...”. What is “anti-singularity” about it?

By the way, here is another video by the same guy. Off-topic but one of the funniest videos I have ever seen :-)
Thank you—that was excellent. I didn’t crack up, but it did give an good sense of time.

There’s no hint at the concept that things might get different for us very quickly.
And there’s no reason to think that getting to the stars is easier than overcoming bias.
