Yes, but I owe you an apology for bringing economics up. I fell for some cognitive bias or other when remembering the number of ecnomics posts- Stuart Armstrong’s is the only one in recent months where economics was the end and not a mean to some other discussion.
Basically, everyone on this board has made a pre-committment to not expend energy on politics. You’ll definitely need a sequence post on the benefits of political thought as a general concept, before any posts about how to think politics properly. Why before how.
I believe I should be able both to show how to think on politics and then use that structure to show that some political action is preferable to none—and by my definition work on EA and AI are, for those methods I mention above, political question.
I do have a short answer to the question of why to engage in politics. But it will be expanded in time.
