The role of Horizon Scans in Existential Risk Studies
His views on what EA gets wrong about XRisk
Deep Systems Thinking and XRisk.
Alternatively for another Climate Change and XRisk that would be narrower and less controversial/critical of EA than Luke is, Constantin Arnsschedit would be good
I think the most likely thing is that on a post like this the downvotes vs disagreevotes distinction isn’t very strong. Its suggestions, so one would upvite the suggestions one likes most, and downvote those you like least (to contribute to visibility). If this is the case, I think its pretty fair to be honest.
If not, then I can only posit a few potential reasons, but these all seem bad to me that I would assume the above is true:
People think 80K platforming people who think climate change could contribute to XRisk would be actively harmful (eg by distracting people from more important problems)
People think 80K platforming Luke (due to his criticism of EA- which I assume they think is wrong or bad faith) would be actively harmful, so it shouldn’t be considered
People think having a podcast specifically talking about what EA gets wrong about XRisk would be actively harmful (perhaps it would turn newbies off, so we shouldn’t have it)
People think suggesting Luke is trolling because they think their is no chance that 80K would platform him (this would feel very uncharitable towards 80K imo)

Why is this comment getting downvotes (rather than just disagree votes)?
