Holden, I’m curious where you would put painist organizations—those who are only trying to reduce / alleviate pain. One Step for Animals and Lewis’ Open Phil work are along these lines. Or do you think this is not a big enough area to warrant discussion (which could well be).
In my head, these seem like “equity,” though I’ll admit my phrasing in describing “equity” doesn’t make this clear. A somewhat broader version of “equity” might be: “focus on improving the day-to-day lives of the people on the ship, rather than anything about where the ship is headed or who’s deciding that.”
Was just looking at this post and I don’t really understand why equity is not a form of steering. Like the path the ship is on leads to certain bad (inequitable) outcomes, so we want it to move in a different (redistributive) direction
