If this is where the putative money is going, I'm not interested in talking about it here.

Are there any charities out there which could productively use $10M to get us closer to liquid-fluoride thorium reactors, say? The IEC fusion folks could use $10M.

A list of the 100 most interesting projects with organizational frameworks already in existence that could start scaling up with $10M might be worth compiling in and of itself.

That list is a great idea. But why exactly shouldn't we talk about human development projects?
