I suppose I was more inspired by this comment than by anything of his I read:
I can’t say I blame him for opting out of life. There is no way I’m going to do all the things I’d have to do to get to my 70s or 80s. The only thing that could motivate me for that would be a strong expectation of a positive singularity that I can personally live through. A few thousand years in my own VR sex castle, without having to work, would be sufficient motivation. Normal retirement with declining health… not so much. I guess even when you’re depressed, you could achieve enough positive externalities to make it worthwhile

Any links to his relevant comments here or elsewhere?

I’ve removed the link. It was a mistake.
