Ben Shapiro Should Lead EA

[John Salter]

1. It’d be great for PR

   1. He has more reach than every EA combined

   2. EA has been slapped by legal issues like FTX collapse; Ben’s a harvard educated lawyer who could have gotten us out of it.

   3. EA is blasted for being too polyamerous and slutty. By promoting family values ben would have tackled this long before it became an issue

2. He’s the internet’s #1 defender of science and logic

3. He’s proven himself cost-effective:

   1. EA spends millions on movement-building. Result: 11000 members in 2026.

   2. Ben makes millions building movements. Result: 1 million paying members… by 2022.

4. Greater counterfactual impact: current leaders would otherwise be doing academic philosophy (zero utility) whereas Ben would be doing Ben things (negative utility)

5. He’d appeal to under-represented groups

   1. Conservatives: places facts above feelings (if reading that triggered you, you’re only proving my point)

   2. Black people: he’s literally a rapper

   3. Women: irresistible combination of bad boy and loving father

   4. Non-stem: I spoke to every non-stem EA. Both love Ben.

   5. Hispanics: lives in LA (47% latino)

6. The only defense against maligned artificial superintelligence is aligned natural superduperintelligence.
