2. China decoupling and aggressive, multilateral containment wherever possible.
3. Massive deregulation of biotech and medicine.https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1240865338121547776 …

Ending the culture war is mostly instrumental to (2), although I detest it in its own right. (3) is I think clearly valuable on its own as well, as everyone here has known for years but also as has been brutally demonstrated in the last two weeks.
