We currently lack angles of attack for intelligence and meta-ethics
We do? How confident are you in this statement? There’s been a lot of literature about both of these (understatement) - how much of it have you surveyed?
We is ambiguous. I would be confident if we meant “the lesswrong community” on intelligence. Having read a lot of less wrong.
With meta-ethics I am less confident, but I suspect that lukeprog would have presented it in his call to arms if he knew of one.
There might be communities of scholars with angles of attacks that no one in lesswrong has read that either have not exploited their angle or haven’t had it long enough for their progress relative to other groups to be noted.
