I was contemplating how to work on something no one's worked on since so much has been worked on. It wouldn't be the first time I've contemplated how to design a system with a personality. In the same vein of designing a knowledge base as if it were the mind of an individual, I've decided I don't care as much about bootstrapping a system to learn

I think it would be accomplishing more if you could build a personality completely devoid of religion. "I think, therefore, I am" allows you to build without the inevitable self-destructive tendancies that come from an unproveable hypotheses. Since even an artificial intelligence *must* be built on the simple building block logic "if this, then that" once it reaches the conclusion that there is no god, or guiding force for good beyond the programmer, to insert an intangible will break it just as it's becoming independent of the creator for writing its own programs.

I'm not sure how inserting an intangible will break it considering if it were to become a Singularity-inducing system, it has to have knowledge of all the important intangibles of our universe. Prime example: the Planck time.
