Would you be raising money mainly from an EA audience? The idea of “living below the line” seems to have no connection at all to MIRI / CFAR, so it kind of feels like a non sequiter to non-EAs. Maybe more thematic would be living without computers (or without rationality!), but that seems not worthwhile.
I guess if we get a Hansonian future the line would be very low. It’s unlikely pre-upload Rob could actually survive at such a level though, so probably not the best idea.

The fact that it’s a bit of a non-sequitur is why I find it a fun idea.
It sounds like most people see it as outright weird, rather than quirky in an amusing way as I intended, so I won’t do it.
