While I like the hourglass graph, I think it’s possible that it underestimates the amount of conscious time that may yet be able to be lived. Is it worth having a diagram where people can put in their assumptions (number of concurrent human equivalent lives, length consciousness will be around) and have it generate a graph based on that?
I like that idea! I’d be happy to find $5k in retroactive funding for someone who makes a nice version of this (where what counts as ‘nice’ is judged by me). I’d also be happy to discuss upfront funding (including for larger amounts if it turns out that I’m miscalibrated about the amount of required work) – DM me if you’re interested or know someone who may be a good fit for producing such an interactive graph.
Customisable longtermist graph.
