Talking about politics may be mostly signaling, but politics itself-that is, the decisions made and policies enacted-is something else that is really, really important.
If you care about the future of humanity and you have examined the evidence, then you should be concerned about global warming. I don't understand how that statement should be any more controversial than being concerned about the Singularity.
Then I will get back to you as soon as I have meaningful influence over any policies enacted.
Good point. One interesting thing you can do is advocate for or attempt to participate in a revolution: the odds may be very low of succeeding, but the payoff of successfully succeeding could be almost arbitrarily large, and so the expected utility of doing so could be tremendous.
