Instead of thinking about how the world goes wrong and what we should do to fix it (for an entirely virtual and agency free meaning of "we"), think about what is going to happen, and what is going to have been done to deal with that, and get a head start on this.

To rephrase... Prevention and mitigation is much better than damage control. This is not the strategy we use for policy changes today.

If *you* don't use the right strategy for policy changes, why don't *you* change it? Your "we" may be virtual, i.e. it does not exist in a form that has the agency that you ascribe to it. The only point where you can change the direction of anything is your own decision making.

That is not the only point: by convincing other people of deciding differently, I can induce change. Without me necessarily changing my own decision making. Ask Al Gore. I guess he's not personally suffering to save the planet.

As a parent, my goal is not to induce my children to do intrinsically good things, but to model aspects of the world that might help them to decide what they consider to be the right thing to do. I suppose the same can happen on a global scale.

I always get the impression from your posts that you try to champion certain character traits/behavior while strictly avoiding to appeal to moral principles. Yet I see no rational reason e.g. to be authentic ("live what you preach"). Isn't that sth you intrinsically deem as good?

I prefer to play the longest possible game. This is an arbitrary scope, but has useful implications for reasoning about coordination.

I like how some of your tweets initially seem to be non sequiturs. It seems as though they are sometimes generated by an AI that constantly strikes tangential gold. My impression is no doubt due your massive framework expansion... Of which I greatly respect. Cheers

Yes, I don’t use twitter to cultivate an audience or advance a mission. It is like an interactive notebook for my random ideas, so I don’t get bored.
