In a post-ASI world, the assumption that investment capital returns are honored by society is basically gone. Like the last game in a very long series of iterated prisoner’s dilemma, there’s no longer a need to Cooperate. There’s still time between now and then to invest, but the generic “more long-term capital = good” mindset seems insufficient without an exit strategy or final use case.
Personally, I’m trying to balance various risks regarding the choppy years right before ASI, and also maximize charitable outcomes while I still have some agency in this world.
What are you specifically planning to accomplish?

Can you elaborate on “balancing risks regarding the choppy years”?
