I love this and your other Longtermism suggestions, thanks for submitting them! Not sure if you saw my below suggestion of a Longtermism Policy Lab—but maybe this is exactly the kind of activity that could fall under such an organisation/programme (within Rethink even)? Likewise for your suggestion of a Lobbying group—by working directly with societal partners (e.g. National Ministries across the world) you could begin implementation directly through experimentation.
I’ve been involved in a similar (successful) project called the ‘Transformative Innovation Policy Consortium (TIPC)’, which works with, for example, the Colombian governement to shape innovation policy towards sustainable and just transformation (as opposed to systems optimisation).
Would love to talk to you about these your ideas for this space if you’re interested. I’m working with the Institutions for Longtermism research platform at Utrecht University & we’re still trying to shape our focus, so there may be some scope for piloting ideas.
JBPDavies, it sounds like you and I should connect as well—I run the Effective Institutions Project and I’d love to learn more about your Institutions for Longtermism research and provide input/ideas as appropriate.

Sounds fantastic—drop me an email at j.b.p.davies@uu.nl and I would love to set up a meeting. In the meantime I’ll dive into EIP’s work!
Sure! Email me at peter@rethinkpriorities.org and I will set up a meeting.
