Thanks. :) Yeah, I think I sometimes can offer a different perspective than other people working on a problem (such as s-risks). A difficulty I have is that I worry that what I’m saying might be obvious or wrong, and therefore it’s a waste of people’s time to talk with me if I haven’t read more of the background literature. But I still sometimes take the risk of wasting people’s time just in case what I’m saying is actually useful.
