what’s the inherent conservatism of xrisk reduction, or the version that’s salient to you, or to Mitchell/Chaudrey? I know of a few approaches. I guess Mitchell/Chaudrey might plausibly think the “everyone dying bad” frame solves the whiteness problem (i.e. someone like Ord throws in a bunch of extra stuff on top which you could accuse of a kind of WEIRD supremacy / insufficiently anticapitalist / etc). I remain slightly confused why “positive longtermism and negative longtermism” have not been adopted since I’m frequently aggressively reminded that it’s a source of cruxes for different people.
