If you know you can save the world, or do anything significant that has eternal repercussions, that no other human is likely to do in the mid to long term - if you are truly a once-in-a-civilization-event - how irrational is it to do anything else?

If you can't reprogram your mind from "Having a companion is a good idea." to "Having a companion is neglecting my duties.", having no companion may feel like sacrifice. But if you can, or you start with the latter conviction, having a companion feels like the height of folly. Torment. Frustration. Time away from your true love - The Singularity.

With great power comes great responsibility - non-transferable, non-delegatable responsibility.
