So the question is âwhat governance hurdles decrease risk but donât constitute a total barrier to entry?â
I agree. There are probably some kinds of democratic checks that honest UHNW individuals donât mind, but have relatively big improvements for epistemics and community risk. Perhaps there are ways to add incentives for agreeing to audits or democratic checks? It seems like SBFâs reputation as a businessman benefited somewhat from his association with EA (I am not too confident in this claim). Perhaps offering some kind of âSuper Effective Philanthropistâ title/âprize/âtrophy to particular UHNW donors that agree to subject their donations to democratic checks or financial audits might be an incentive? (Iâm pretty skeptical, but unsure.) Iâd like to do some more creative thinking here.
I wonder if submitting capital to your proposal seems a bit too much like the latter.

Probably.
