In my case, I think illness is very much just a symptom of the struggle to get on with things in an interfering environment.
Do you mean you think you have something like Mindbody syndrome/TMS? I thought I had it for a while, but now suspect the root causes are actually physiological, not psychological, for me.
Just to clarify, am I interpreting your post correctly in reading it as you saying that the reason you’re not operating at your full potential is because of a chronic illness which causes migraines and other symptoms? If so, this may be something that you’ve already thought of, but it’s worth putting a lot of effort into tracking down the root cause of of the illness and fixing it (assuming you don’t already know the root cause and that there is a potential fix) even if it means temporarily working more slowly on the AI alignment problem. That’s what I’m doing, at least.

Migraine is just an occasional problem. Living and working conditions are the truly chronic problem that have made me irrelevant.
Have you heard about the EA Hotel? Or considered moving to a country with a very low cost of living?
