Excellent, you are ahead of me. My initial reaction to the post was to run through a list of my prominent beliefs to see if they all made sense. They all did, and I only just barely was able to catch myself in time to think "What a coincidence, every single one?". Then the "Singularity as retirement plan" quote occurred to me.
I support this 'x is my invisible dragon' turn of phrase!
My invisible dragons:
Preventative medicine. (Sanitizing things, flu shots, drinking adequate water, etc.) Risk prevention in general (backing up files, locking my possessions, not going out after dark.) I probably don't do enough of that stuff compared to how bad I'd feel if risks actually occurred. Probably include proper diet among things that I would do differently if I successfully internalized what I believe in principle.
