TGGP, 1. wikipedia or google search for the evidence. 2. More propaganda than caring personally. You probably know I'd like smart people to care less about saving everybody than saving each other, as long as they're not so exclusive that I'm not included. It makes the problem easier to solve, in my opinion. It seems like it was possibly effective. Eliezer dropped toddlers for children in response. It's possible he's open to making the problem a little bit easier to solve. So getting consensus that we care only about the subset of people that have reached an age where they become conscious can change a lot (disclaimer about value of saving toddler clones of existential-risk solving geniuses should be unecssary), in my opinion.
