[ExI] The ultimate test of your transhumanist convictions...

[Ross Evans]

...do you have a pension plan?

To hear people in their 20's and 30's talk about pension provision they have
either made, intend to make, or wish they could afford to make, is
incredibly dissonant for those of us who imagine the future being rather
radically different than the now. I'm 30, have no pension plan, nor any
intention to burden myself with one. Indeed, for those transhumanist/
singularitarians in this age group, the ideology confers a distinct economic
advantage; the ability to turn their backs on a fiscally unsustainable ponzi
scheme, the need for which technological progress will obviate. Capital that
would otherwise be deployed into such schemes could be more usefully
employed in gaining new skills, travelling, and investing inthe very
companies that will build the future they want.
