Hmm. I think you’re right. I just realized I don’t have any actual models for how we might exit the semi-anarchy without friendly superintelligence (it seemed hard, so I assumed gradualism), and it seems dangerous to try.
Furthermore, in reference to the crux in your original comment, the semi-anarchy doesn’t seem dangerous enough for a world government to improve our chances. What we’re looking for is global coordination capacity, and we can improve that without building one.
