That makes a lot of sense. We can definitely test a lot of different framings. I think the problem with a lot of these kinds of problems is that they are low saliency, and thus people tend not to have opinions already, and thus they tend to generate an opinion on the spot. We have a lot of experience polling on low saliency issues though because we’ve done a lot of polling on animal farming policy which has similar framing effects.
I would definitely vote in favor of a grant to do this on the LTFF, as well as the SFF, and might even be interested in backstopping it with my personal funds or Lightcone funds.

Cool—I’ll follow up when I’m back at work.
I think that’s exactly right.
