I think I’d spend most of it on efforts to reduce large risks, nuclear weapons, natural or manufactured pandemics etc. And I would make sure that projects that communicate solutions for environmental problems get support. But first I'd ask others for their answers.

It’s unfortunate that many are thinking about the current problem, ie, COVID. It seems like it would be better to think of what do we need to invest in to help us achieve X-level progress in some specific area(s). What do you think
