Back in some of Eliezer's writings he recommends if you can't contribute money or programming to learn to program a computer. In my opinion the best way for the regular joe prepare for the Singularity is to read about science and emerging technology such as physics, QM, relativity, cosmology, string theory, quantum gravity, M theory, super symmetry, chemistry, biology, anatomy and physiology, cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, genetic engineering, molecular engineering, nanotechnology, and the Singularity. You will have a better chance of understanding what is going to happen if you have some understanding of what is going on now.
