“I consistently refuse to be drawn into running the Singularity Institute. I have an overwhelming sense of doom about what happens if I start going down that road.”

I assume Eliezer thinks that his energy is much better spent on doing the things he does, not dealing with that specific leadership position.
But why/how is it better spent that way?
