  I’m interested in your current and future work on longtermism.

  One of your plans for 2022 is to:

  • Build a larger longtermist research team to explore longtermist work and interventions more broadly

  Have you decided the possible additional research directions you are hoping to explore? When you’re figuring this out, are you more interested in spotting gaps or do you feel the field in young enough that investigating areas others are working on/​have touched is still likely to be beneficial? Perhaps both!
