For the love of the spark, fucking don’t. At least separate yourself from the social ladder of EA and learn the real version of rationality first.
Or: ignore that advice, but at least don’t do the actual MCB implementation worldwide that costs a billion a year, talk with the scientists who worked on it and figure out the way that MCB could be done most efficiently. And then get things to the point of having a written plan, like, “hey government, here’s exactly how you can do MCB if you want, now you can execute this plan as written if/when you choose”. Do a test run over a small area, iterate and improve on the technology. B/c governments or big NGOs are more likely to do it if it’s fleshed out, e.g. lower risk from their POV.
