I was being tongue-in-cheek, gesturing towards the basic transhumanist stance that everything will be different. What I mean is that any investments I make today are tied to many implicit assumptions about the world’s trajectory over the coming years, and that I don’t expect these assumptions to hold true over that time frame, especially considering the accelerating change I’ve observed in my lifetime so far.
None of this actually stops me from investing a reasonable amount in boring investments like index funds because I simply don’t have that much stuff I want to spend money on.
