Should we stop attempting because it’s hard? Or notice cope and cover and correct it?
Not necessarily, but we should maybe be less gung ho about “trying to do the most good”.
It feels like there’s maybe a missing mood to a lot of EA and x-risk related efforts. Probably more people should be more paranoid about the impacts of their actions, and more willing to do ostensibly less ambitious things that are less fake to them?
Interesting. This I agree with. But it seems to apply to those doing more easily evaluate technical work at least as much.

I guess I’m not understanding what mood you think is missing.
I’m not super clear on what the ideal response to this state of affairs is. I’m both confused and probably wrong.
But does “paranoia” not evoke the difference?
