Huh, I’m surprised this one got downvoted—I had always thought of it as uncontroversially important. I’d be interested to hear why. Maybe the idea is that we should be reducing the alignment tax rather than organizing to pay it, and reducing the tax works the same way in unipolar and multipolar scenarios? EDIT: OK, now it’s been strong-upvoted, lol. I guess my takeaway is that this is a controversial one.
