You're being excessively confrontational.

You are right. I'm very sorry about that. I mildly panicked seeing that the first comments of an extremely personally relevant post were concentrated on the Swedish issue, which wasn't the core of my question.

This is the list from their website.

Yes, I know. It's missing Kristian, and I believe some research associates are not collaborating with FHI anymore.

If other people have pointers to evidence on this I would be curious.

Any trolley problem study will give you the proportion on the normal population. It's about 80% deontological, 20% utilitarian. Eric Schwitzgebel studies will give you the proportion among philosophers and among ethicists. The evidence for transhumanists is anecdotal. Although I've been one for 6 years, have directed a transhumanist NGO and have met many old timers, I've never met a deontological transhumanist in my life.

Kristian is no longer working for FHI.

Kristian has returned to Sweden, but is still working remotely part-time for FHI.

Ah, great to hear that Kristian is still involved with FHI!
