Thanks for the thoughtful comment! I like the list where people can fill in personal details, and agree that humor can be a welcome (and useful) addition here.
I also appreciate the point that imagining a good future might be hard, given the current state of the world. The appeal to an AI-enabled better future could land with some EA audiences, but I think that would feel like an outlandish claim to many. I guess I (and maybe others?) have a bit more faith that we could build a better future even without AGI. Appealing to the trajectory of human progress would be a supporting argument here that some might be sympathetic to.
