Overall I think I’d prefer to think about “how good are various opportunities as investments in the longtermist community?”, as well as “how good are various opportunities at making progress towards other proxies-for-good that we’ve identified?”. Activities can score well on either, both, or neither of these, rather than being classed as one type or the other.
That seems like a good way of putting it, and I think I was mainly thinking of it this way (e.g. I was imagining that an opportunity could further all three categories), though I didn’t make that clear (e.g. should call them ‘goals’ rather than ‘categories’).
