We argue that the dream of the supporters of the technological singularity, the notion that computers will one day be smarter than their human creators will never be realized. The notion of intelligence that advocates of the technological singularity promote does not take into account the full dimension of human intelligence. Human intelligence as we will show is not based solely on logical operations and computation, but rather includes a long list of other characteristics that are unique to humans that the supporters of the singularity ignore. The list includes curiosity, imagination, intuition, emotions, passion, desires, pleasure, aesthetics, joy, purpose, objectives, goals, telos, values, morality, experience, wisdom, judgement and even humour.
