I know I have adverse incentives here since we’re competing for a share of the same prize, and this is also a bit rude, but this one is weaker than the others you’ve submitted in the past. It seems like you’re hitting diminishing returns, and I have a problem with that because I’d rather live in a world where everyone posts really good submissions for really important contests like these.
Have you considered getting inspiration from refining quotes from Bostrom’s 2014 superintelligence? I’ve also heard good things about the precipice, but I procrastinated on this contest so I might not be able to crack into either of those before the deadline hits. The first chapters at least should have a ton of good quotes to refine for modern audiences. If you don’t trust me (we’re supposed to be fighting over money), you should be able to verify for yourself after reading half of the first chapter, it’s a total goldmine. idk about slogans, but that seems like a winning strategy for slogans to me.

No no, your advice is good!
And I’d rather better submissions get in, than for me to get a higher % of $ with worse submissions.
(Also, strict curiosity, how many submissions have you made? I track mine in a separate list, I’m at precisely 47 as of this comment).
I think I’m on 80, I wrote a lot of other comments too so I might be off by a few since I used ctrl+f
