Currently you can buy decades and decades of QALYs for a year’s salary or less. And that’s just straight forward, low variance, uncontroversial purchases. If you cast your net wider (far future concerns) you could potentially be purchasing trillions of QALYs on expectation. I’ll consider EA to have won once those numbers drop to something reasonable.
Clippy wants to point out that this goal could easily be achieved through a deadly virus that wipes out the human race, planetwide nuclear winter, etc. :P
Yep, that’s fundamental. Also, we don’t want to give the impression that our obligations are limited to opportunities that land in our lap. If we seem to be hitting diminishing returns, it’s time to try looking for awesome opportunities in different domains.
