I feel like our viewpoints have converged a lot over the past couple years Noosphere. Which I suppose makes sense, since we’ve both been updating on similar evidence!
The one point I’d disagree with, although also wanting to point out that the disagreement seems irrelevant to short term strategy, is that I do think that philosophy and figuring out values is going to be pretty key in getting from a place of “shakey temporary safety” to a place of “long-term stable safety”.
But I think our views on the sensible next steps to get to that initial at-least-reasonable-safety sound quite similar.
Since I’m pretty sure we’re currently in a quite fragile place as a species, I think it’s worth putting off thinking about long term safety (decades) to focus on short/medium term safety (months/years).
