I should add that I don’t think I will have meta-ethical solutions in 15 years, significantly because I’m not optimistic that I can get someone pay my living expenses while I do 15 years of research. (Why should they? I haven’t proven my abilities.) But I think these problems are answerable, and that we are in a fantastic position to answer them if we want to do so. We know an awful lot about physics, psychology, logic, neuroscience, AI, and so on. Even experts that were active 15 years before now did not have all these advantages. More importantly, most thinkers today do not even take advantage of them.
Have you considered applying to the SIAI Visiting Fellows program? It could be worth a month or 3 of having your living expenses taken care of while you research, and could lead to something longer term.
Seconding JGWeissman — you’d probably be accepted as a Visiting Fellow in an instant, and if you turn out to be sufficiently good at the kind of research and thinking that they need to have done, maybe you could join them as a paid researcher.
