I’m not exactly sure what you have in mind for the research, but I think it might be interesting to at least draw parallels or have pseudo-benchmarks with policy responses to non-existential low-probability risks, such as 9/11 (or terrorism more generally) and US mass shootings.
Thanks Harrison, we’re indeed looking at exactly those “policy responses to non-existential low-probability risks” as there is little material out there on policy change regarding GC & X-risks. By ‘lowering the bar’ a bit to what we called ‘extreme risks’, we hope to include smaller, less deadly risks into our case study candidates. As such, 9/11 is indeed one to consider, thank!
