I bought index funds. I would say it has the advantage of being robust to AGI not happening, but with birth rates as they are I am not so sure that’s true! If we survive, Hanson’s economic growth calculations predict the economy will start doubling every few months. Provided the stock market can capture some of this, I guess learning how to live on very little (you really want to avoid burning your capital in this future, so should live as modestly as possible both so you can acquire capital and so you can use as little as possible until the market prices in such insane growth) and putting everything in index funds should be fine with even modest amounts of invested capital. However, I doubt property rights will be respected.
