Thanks, that’s helpful for thinking about my career (and thanks for asking that question Michael!)
Edit: helpful for thinking about my career because I’m thinking about getting economics training, which seems useful for answering specific sub-questions in detail (‘Existential Risk and Economic Growth’ being the perfect example of this), but one economic model alone is very unlikely to resolve a big question.
I think you’re very likely doing this anyway, but I’d recommend to get a range of perspectives on these questions. As I said, my own views here don’t feel that resilient, and I also know that several epistemic peers disagree with me on some of the above.
