We need an epistemic-clarity-win that’s stable at the the level of a few dozen world/company leaders.
If you disagree with the premise of “we’re pretty likely to die unless the political situation changes A Lot”, well, it makes sense if you’re worried about the downside risks of the sort of thing I’m advocating for here. We might be political enemies some of the time, sorry about that.
These propositions seem in tension. I think that we’re unlikely to die, but agree with you that without an “epistemic-clarity-win” your side won’t get its desired policies implemented. Of course, the beauty of asymmetric weapons is that if I’m right and you’re wrong, epistemic clarity would reveal that and force you to change your approaches. So, we don’t appear to be political enemies, in ways that matter.
