I have mixed feelings here. But one major practical worry I have about “increasing the value of futures” is that a lot of that looks fairly zero-sum to me. And I’m scared of getting other communities to think this way.
If we can capture 5% more of the universe for utilitarian aims, for example, that’s 5% less from others.
I think it makes sense for a lot of this to be studied in private, but am less sure about highly public work.
