I believe that regional talent pools could also be another factor in favor of the multiple organization scenario. For example, something I think a lot about is how the USA could really use an institution like the Future of Humanity Institute (FHI) in the long run. In addition to all of the points made in the original post, I think that such an institution would improve the overall health of the ecosystem of “FHI-like research” by drawing on a talent pool that is at least somewhat non-overlapping with that drawn upon by FHI.
I think that the talent pools are at least somewhat distinct because a) crossing borders is often logistically challenging or impossible, depending on the scenario; and b) not all job candidates can relocate to the United Kingdom for a variety of personal reasons.
If anyone is interested in discussing a “FHI-like institution in the USA” further, please get in touch with me either via direct message or via ben.harack at visionofearth.org.
