Would you mind writing that up as an essay, for use as a LW post, or ideally, as a piece of SIAI literature?

Dear Michael,

Without wanting to weasel out of your request, I honestly believe that Eliezer's Lost purposes post says the point I want to make very well, much better than I can hope to phrase it without putting in some hard work. The only new point I probably made is that these forces are already at loose and it is difficult to curb them.

However, I will make an effort this weekend and see what I can come up with.

Thanks. I appreciate the effort.
