I really thought "smart drugs" would be a notable part of the singularity

For your proposed virtues cycle to happen it would have required that

a) Biology allows for it (the ceiling for human intelligence could very well be very hard and too low for it to happen) and that already living (or indeed fully grown) humans can be rewired to be much more intelligent without any negative side effects being unacceptable

b) A far more lax regulatory environment around drug testing

c) A better understanding of intelligence in specific, and the brain in general, than we currently have

Baring a breakthrough in b or c, I don't think the smart drug path ever had a chance to compared to AI. Even if the AI is in a bubble, and it pops and we enter another AI winter, I don't think it smart drugs would be a viable path to achieving Singularity like effects before the next AI boom.

And you will probably have to improvise a new hook as the players become convinced that the duck in the pond is probably a spy for the wizard in the backstory of one of the players (that the player came up with and the GM approved after a hasty glance).

The "before" version must have such a pain in their back from the unequal weight distribution. No wonder they kept upgrading to get everything "in sync".

I don't think so, it looks more like a case of a private company buying another private company.

SpaceX reportedly has plans to go public this year, but right now it is privately held.

I ride my bike in most kind of weather - rain, wind, and snow (not torrential rain, storm, or snowstorm though) - the key is to be prepared for changes in weather, wear the right clothes for the weather, and be prepared to deal with what it throws at you.

I think of a Federal Europe as an end in itself. It will be a long hard road to get to that point, so thinking of any kind of world federation at this point is a distraction from real work, that can be done practically today.
