Rich people are visibly not investing enough in existential risk reduction, so my heuristic fails in this case.
Another related heuristic is that people are more likely to invest in immediate problems that already affect them, and less likely to invest in future problems, especially speculative future problems. Menopause is the former and existential risk is the latter.
I take it you don’t support existential risk reduction then? After all, rich people will be killed along with everyone else.
