My new project, together with Moshe Looks and Alyssa Vance, is to chart paths forward to improve federal policy, and lay groundwork to implement those improvements.

I’d be interesting in hearing more about how those two paragraphs are connected. How do we go from 1) lobbying for and getting specific policies implemented to 2) correcting the deep dysfunctions in our government?
I’m also not clear if this is implied or not, but is (2) supposed to mitigate existential risks? If so, I’d be interested to hear more about the specific thoughts and plans surrounding that.
