Thanks for this. I’d rate the ideas on Moral Circle Expansion & Good Humanities Research first, because I’m quite uncertain about them.
I liked the idea about Forecasting, too—I’d like to see what comes from this.
Though I would like to see some ITN assessment of After the Apocalipse & Shelter MVP, my priors are that these are not very cost-effective—at least for individuals. It seems usually better to invest my resources in my health and sanity than in acquiring survivalist skills or equipment; maybe some “cheap survivalist tips” are cost-effective (“you can’t have too much canned food”), but even so it’d likely be more cost effective to invest in a group that can survive a catastrophe and restart civilization (and then have contact with EA ideas) than in myself—afterall, this is a commons problem.
