I met Emmett Shear once at a conference, and have read a bunch of his tweeting.
On Friday I turned to a colleague and asked for Shear’s email, so that I could email him suggesting he try to be CEO, as he’s built a multi-billion company before and has his head screwed on about x-risk.
My colleague declined, I think they thought it was a waste of time (or didn’t think it was worth their social capital).
Man, I wish I had done it, that would have been so cool to have been the one to suggest it to him.
Fun story.
