Confrontation-worthy empathy feels like it might have been worthwhile splitting out into its own post as it is very different from the timelines discussion.

I found this helpful and clearly written. Thanks for cross-posting.

There are many more interventions that might work on decades-long timelines that you didn't mention:

• Collective intelligence/sense-making/decision-making/governance/democracy innovation (and it's introduction in organisations, communities, and societies on larger scales), such as https://cip.org
• Innovation in social network technology that fosters better epistemics and social cohesion rather than polarisation
• Innovation in economic mechanisms to combat the deficiencies and blind spots of free markets and the modern money-on-money return financial system, such as various crypto projects, or https://digitalgaia.earth
• Fixing other structural problems of the internet and money infrastructure that exacerbate risks: too much interconnectedness, too much centralisation of information storage, money is traceless, as I explained in this comment. Possible innovations: https://www.inrupt.com/, https://trustoverip.org/ , other trust-based (cryptocurrency) systems.
• Other infrastructure projects that might address certain risks, notably https://worldcoin.org, albeit this is a double-edged sword (could be used for surveillence?)
• OTOH, fostering better interconnectedness between humans and humans to computers, primarily via brain-computer interfaces such as Neuralink. (Also, I think in mid- to long-term, human-AI merge is only viable "good" outcome for humanity at least.) However, this is a double-edged sword (could be used by AI to manipulate humans or quickly take over humans?)
