This is probably not very ideal for a first post, but I couldn’t think of a better platform for a “ramble” like this than Less Wrong. I’ve listened to and read much on these subjects, but I’ve never found anyone expressing this precise idea, so I felt that it at least met some degree of originality.
I’m open to feedback on how to improve this to a publishable state; I thought that it might be too long for a “quick take”, but I could be wrong.
In the interest of defending my “credentials,” you might be interested in taking a cursory look at things I’ve written before. I have a piece about AI welfare (which I submitted as the final essay in my neuroscience course), as well as a piece on gender identity (which I wrote for my former institution’s student newspaper). Both of these are quite dated, but they at least serve to show that I can write academically.
