It looks like most of my thinking (which, due to perfectionism and laziness, I have not really published anywhere) is about number 3 - characterizing target behavior—and some of 1 as well. I think a lot about what kind of world I actually want to steer towards (3), and that has led me to try to understand the real nature of the things that are ethically relevant (1), like the “self”, rights, etc. But as you say I often do feel a bit guilty about not trying hard on 2 and 4. I don’t think I really have the mind for that; I’m more a designer than a dev.
