I agree that governments should prioritize spending on preventing catastrophic events like nuclear war, engineered pandemics, and AI risks based on cost-benefit analysis. As longtermists, we should push for a policy guided by cost-benefit analysis and citizens' willingness to pay, and commit to acting accordingly in politics. This would significantly reduce existential risks for both the present and future generations.
