(1) I know that the SIAI mission is vitally important.
(2) If we blow it, the universe could be paved with paper clips.
(3) Or worse.
(4) I hereby certify that points 1 & 2 do not give me nightmares.
(5) I accept that if point 3 gives me nightmares that points 1 and 2 did not give me, then I probably should not be working on FAI and should instead go find a cure for AIDS or something.
I like it!
Although 5 could be easily replaced by "Go earn a lot of money in a startup, never think about FAI again but still donate money to SIAI because you remember that you have some good reason to that you don't want to think about explicitly."
