Why not try to exploit the singularity for fun and profit? Its like you have an opportunity to buy Apple stock dirt cheap.
At the very least you should be able to rule out bad investments (time or money).
Hm. Well once/if the singularity does happen, I would think that it'd be beyond my ability to manipulate. But I think that your points are valid in reference to the time leading up to it.
Regulatory: make the singularity pay you rent by being a gatekeeper. This will be a large industry worldwide. Probably the best bet.
Could you explain this a bit more? I don't understand how anyone could be a gatekeeper.
Our beliefs aren't just cargo that we carry around. They become part of our personal identity, so much so that we feel hurt if we see someone attacking our beliefs, even if the attacker isn't speaking to us individually. These "beliefs" are not necessarily grand things like moral frameworks and political doctrines, but can also be as inconsequential as an opinion about a song.
This post is for discussing times when you actually changed your mind about something, detaching from the belief that had wrapped itself around you.
