Just read the OP. My primary response is OH GOD WHY.
I realize now that I have had several possibly-Imaginary Position misconceptions in the past, including the following:
LW is almost entirely dominated by libertarians (seem very common but there is diversity)
All singularitarianism is Kurzweilian (I definitely don’t believe his idea)
And in particular (I think this one is actually an Imaginary Position that resists contradiction):
Transhumanists/​Singularitarians want to create or are likely to inadvertantly create a successor race and obsolete humanity in a way distinct from self-upgrading or having better children than the parents.
