I'll post this here and put a copy on my desktop so I remember to check it in a few months. My beliefs tend to change very often and very quickly.

Could you explain/link to an explanation of the Buddhist bits?
I'd be interested to hear about this one in more detail. There are a lot of possible interpretations of it, but most of them seem egoist in a way that doesn't seem to mesh well with the spirit of your other comments.
Seconded for Buddhist clarifications, particularly the one that goes to the quote above.
Causal immortality seems more and more true to me over time (I would be surprised if any of the major SIAI donors, including older ones, die before the Singularity) but could definitely use some explanation. Though I'm not sure of the consequences of encouraging people to maximize their causal significance. Almost definitely not good.
Nice.
