In my defense: 1. Utopian political changes like futarchy, seasteading and world-government are often seriously proposed as GCR reducers. They ought to be listed if only to be ruled out. 2. Well one's library at least ought to include some prescient historical case studies of political collapses and revolutions, and studies of primitive tribes. 3. Requiring people to insure dual use synbio labs against widespread loss of life is also a serious policy proposal.

I grant that it's an eclectic and unprioritised list, but that's an assessment of the field (which is only in its earliest stages) moreso than an indictment of my characterisation of it, right?
