I do somewhat agree (my beliefs on this has also somewhat changed after discussing the theory with others). I think “conventional” WAW work has some direct (advocacy) and indirect (research) influence on peoples values, which could help avoid or make certain lock-in scenarios less severe. However, I think this impact is less than I previously thought, and I’m now of the belive that more direct work into how we can mitigate such risk is more impactful.
