Great question! These are just some initial instincts—I’m not sure any of these questions are overly neglected, and they are too broad to be research questions, but curious to hear what others think:
How can we [most effectively—implicit in all questions below] expand individuals’ moral circles (including over temporal dimensions), particular during key choice points (e.g. choosing what to eat, whether/where to donate, what/who to vote for)?
How can we improve political decision-making (i.e. ensuring political choices are consistent with individuals’ values)?
How can we improve judgement and decision-making under uncertainty (including deep uncertainty) more generally? And do these differ for individuals vs. small groups vs. large groups/organisations?
How can we ensure individuals and groups behave more consistently with their decisions/intentions?
How can we increase effective democratic behaviours more generally (i.e. behaviours outside of well-defined political decisions that are generally regarded to contribute towards a well-functioning democracy)?
How can we increase cooperation between individuals and groups, particular individuals and groups that are distant (physically, temporally, socially, etc)?

I think these are really important questions too!
