I really like this framing! Just a few small questions about the choice of the five attributes.
You say steering capacity has five attributes, then you make parallels to these five focus areas for altruistic work in present day work. Three q’s:
I don’t get the difference between predictive power and wisdom.
I would’ve thought predictive power would match to ‘improve prediction-making & foresight’, not ‘number of people’.
Do you intend any of your points to refer to the general scientific/rationality ability of civilization, insofar as you think they’re separate from prediction skills?
I don’t follow your other two questions (not sure what “number of people” refers to in the second; not sure how to parse the third at all). Could you clarify or restate them?
I don’t get the difference between predictive power and wisdom.
I am using “predictive power” as something like “ability to see what’s coming down the pipe” and “wisdom” as something like “ability to assess whether what’s coming down the pipe is good or bad, according to one’s value system.”
