What factors do you expect have the highest likelihood of severely compromising your own quality and/or duration of life, within the next 1, 5, or 10 years? How do these risks change your behavior compared to how you expect you’d act if they were less relevant to you?
If those greatest personal risks are not things you categorize as existential risks to all of humanity, how do you divide your risk mitigation efforts between the personal-and-near-term and the global-and-long-term ones?
(I ask because I keep catching myself trying to generalize about the personal risk profiles of the kinds of people who concern themselves with x-risks, and I’d rather generalize from self-reports of humans in a community which attracts that demographic than from wild guesses inferred by reading a bunch of blogs)
