Glad to hear that you aren’t recommending strategy research in general—because that’s what it looked like.
And yes, I think it’s incredibly hard to make sure we’re not putting effort into efforts with negative expected value, and I think that attention hazards are critical, and are the biggest place where I think strategy research has the potential to increase risks rather than ameliorate them. (Which is exactly why I’m confused that anyone would suggest that more such research should be done publicly and/or shared. And it’s why I don’t think that a more detailed object level discussion makes sense here, in public.)
