Somewhere you said that you are really happy to be finally able to concentrate directly on the matters you deem important and don’t have to raise money anymore. This obviously worked, so you won’t have to change anything. But if you ever need to raise more money for a certain project, my question is how much of the money you already get comes from people you would consider mediocre rationalists?
I’m not sure if you expect to ever need a lot of money for a SIAI project, but if you solely rely on those few really good rationalists then you might have a hard time in that case.
People like me will probably always stay on your side, whether you tell them they are idiots. But I’m not sure if that might be enough in a scenario where donations are important.
