This week I'll be interviewing Marcus Davis, co-founder and co-CEO of Rethink Priorities, which conducts global priorities research, often with an empirical bent.
What should I ask him?
You can learn more about Rethink Priorities by checking out this talk given by Marcus himself.
Alternatively you can see a list of all their published research here.
How would his group rate the priority of humanity learning how to control the knowledge explosion?
Does his group feel that the marriage between violent men and an accelerating knowledge explosion is sustainable?
To what degree does his group consider AI or genetic engineering governance to be a form of science culture mythology?
Does his group feel that the "more is better" relationship with knowledge which served us well in the long era of knowledge scarcity is still an appropriate philosophy in an era characterized by knowledge exploding in every direction at an ever accelerating rate?
