Iād also note that the existing psychological evidence for the āsecondary transfer effectā is relevant to premise 4
Good point, thanks! Judging only from that paperās abstract, Iād guess that itād indeed be useful for work on these questions to draw on evidence and theorising about secondary transfer effects.
I can imagine this research fitting well within Sentience Institute. If you know anyone who could be interested in applying to our current researcher job opening (closing in ~one weekās time), to work on this or other questions, please do let them know about the opening.
Yes, Iād agree that this kind of work seems to clearly fit the Sentience Instituteās mission, and that SI seems like itās probably among the best homes for this kind of work. (Off the top of my head, other candidate ābest homesā might be Rethink Priorities or academic psychology. But itās possible that, in the latter, itād be hard to sell people on focusing a lot of resources on the most relevant questions.)
So Iām glad you stated that explicitly (perhaps I shouldāve too), and mentioned SIās job opening here, so people interested in researching these questions can see it.
Thanks for this comment!
