Yes, but “cancelling your 401k, not getting an IRA, minimum legal contributions to your pension, etc” seem like near-thinking reactions to the concept of the Singularity.
Yes and slightly more specifically an expected Singularity within one’s own lifetime. Not unusual among those who expect a Singularity at all, but at least not universal. People who expect a Singularity in, say 200 years and also think that systems such as 401k will maintain relevance throughout their lifetime may still go with the 401k.
My apologies, I should have said “near-thinking reactions to his personal beliefs about the Singularity”. The quote in that link is clearly from somebody who believes the Singularity will happen with high probability before he retires, so making it sound like it’s true of any understanding of the Singularity is quite false.
