You want some belief-as-attire that LW people wear? How about some of the things people say "as Singularitarians", i.e. not because they really have thought the matter through themselves, but because it is the standard position of Singularitarians.

(It's not always easy to distinguish, granted. You could believe in cryonics because you really have evidence to suggest that this is the best use of resources... or you could believe in cryonics because that's "what Singularitarians believe".)
