Do you find any existential risk concerns compelling? I'm tend to be pretty nervous about "prevent very bad but very unlikely things from happening" arguments, but I also feel various 20th century close calls with nuclear weapons were... way too close for comfort.

fwiw I do also think "partial extinction risks" should be a huge-ass priority; *even if* one adopted strictly longtermist utilitarian grounds (which isn't my real ethics, I endorse a more commonsense thing, but.) bc it would drastically weaken systemic stability and resilience
