It seems like you invested a good chunk into Longevity Research Institute via the Survival and Flourishing fund in the past. Do you now see that work as less important then XRisks and don’t want to fund such work anymore?
well, i’ve always considered human life extension as less important than “civilisation’s life extension” (ie, xrisk reduction). still, they’re both very important causes, and i’m happy to support both, especially given that they don’t compete much for talent. as for the LRI specifically, i believe they simply haven’t applied to more recent SFF grant rounds.
