Good luck with your forum! While I disagree about whether more broad technological progress is good right now (as we run head first into novel technological extinction threats), I still expect to learn a lot about the history of progress and factors that affect it by reading your forum, which I look forward to.
Thanks Ben! The critiques of progress from the EA/x-risk community have been the most thoughtful, well-informed, and difficult to answer of all the ones I’ve heard. In the spirit of epistemic humility, I invite you to keep up the criticism.
