The average person has zero interest in fighting existential risk. It's very easy to do better than average, if the average is zero. Even if you've only spent fifty hours (say) familiarizing yourself with the topic, that's already much better than most.
This strikes me as, ahem, an inflationary use of the term zero. Try negligible instead. :-)
EDIT: Turns out it was an inflationary use of the term average instead. :-) Retracted.
Well, if we measure interest by what they actually do, then I hold by the "zero".
EY's interest in fighting existential risks is strictly greater than 0 as far as I can tell; is someone else cancelling that out in the average? (Or by average did you actually mean 'median'?) The number of arms the average human has is strictly less than 2.
I meant median.
