You can call them differently or figure out a different number of them or whatever, but the thought remains the same - underlying principles not current causes.

Another plus is that many cause areas are kind of scary in art form (malaria? suffering on factory farms? nuclear war? AI doom?) so are maybe not the best for a mural intended to inspire new people.

This looks like it was excellent and I wish I'd been there.

Do you think there's further appetite for things in the North of England, and if so what?

Great article, directly related to my cause area too (nuclear forensics and nonproliferation).

I was wondering, have you engaged with the contemporary psychodynamic literature on malevolent traits at all? You mention NPD but only in a DSM context, whereas something like the psychodynamic diagnostic manual works on a different category set. I know they consider NPD (in its less extremely malignant and non-forensic forms) to be both quite common and inherently treatable.

I'd also mention the Shedler-Western Assessment Procedure (SWAP) with its associated DIRE risk score. It looks at how to get around the self-report problem without introducing too much other bias (I.e. tendency to rate someone as high on everything) by using cards with descriptions that you order in a deck. The idea is great, but the depth (it's intended primarily for clinical use) is a bit intimidating. Somebody looking at how to simplify the whole SWAP to something a bit less in-depth and more manageable might come up with a useful tool in this area.
