Thanks for reading this 30-minute thing. I first wanted to make a short 5-minute read but I realized that many of you would probably really want all of the evidence laid out clearly, and our plan explained in excruciating detail. - so you can point out the super obvious reason why this has a 0% chance of success, that I’ve completely overlooked - despite my search for fundamental issues since I came up with the idea, and asking all of the experts I can find.
The EA community is probably the most knowledgeable community in the world about helping people. Considering the world-changing impact potential I’ve outlined, even a 1% chance of success would justify spending millions to make this happen. Unless of course, someone can find a problem.
I think our odds are more like 40% without support from EA organizations and as high as 75% with your support. The faster we can grow (but not too fast), the faster we may be able to end poverty. Time is very much of the essence.

Please find a fundamental, first-principles problem with my plan, and, if you can’t, please help us succeed. My challenge for you: Find an insurmountable problem, or help us change the world.
