Yeah roughly the thought is “assuming concentrated power, it matters what the key powerful actors will do” (the liberal democracy comment was an aside saying that I think we should be conditioning on concentrated power).
And then for making educated guesses about what the key powerful actors will do, it seems especially important to me what their attitudes will be at a meta-level: how they prefer to work out what to do, etc.
