Note that I advocate for considering much more weird solutions, and also thinking much more weird world states when talking with the “general world”. While in contrast, on LW and AF, I’d like to see more discussion of various “boring” solutions on which the world can roughly agree.
Can I get us all to agree to push for including pivotal acts and pivotal processes in the Overton window, then? :) I’m happy to publicly talk about pivotal processes and encourage people to take them seriously as options to evaluate, while flagging that I’m ~2-5% on them being how the future is saved, if it’s saved. But I’ll feel more hopeful about this saving the future if you, Critch, etc. are simultaneously publicly talking about pivotal acts and encouraging people to take them seriously as options to evaluate, while flagging that you’re ~2-5% on them being how the future is saved.
