I selected “Quickly orienting to novel situations” (QOTNoS) because it’s strictly superior to the alternatives:
If you have the QOTNoS virtue, you can deal with the novel situation of AI destroying civilization
The necessity of “accurately reporting your epistemic state” is a novel situation for most people. QOTNoS helps again.
“Resisting social pressure” is a common situation. But if the survival of civilization depends on it (as the poll implies), this is a novel situation. Thus, QOTNoS will help with it.
In essence, QOTNoS (as in being able to make the right decisions in novel situations) is a synonym for general intelligence, and thus is the strongest power.

Yeah I also personal picked ‘quickly orient’ for these reasons.
