That's a pretty well thought out set of medium-term goals! I'm impressed.

Thanks.

I think that rationality outreach is particularly useful in that it brings more people into helping. Those people can help increase and complement each other's rationality and skills. More people can work on more things, and improve on instrumental goals in order to make things even more effective.

Also, I believe that it can be pursued in ways that exclude other goals.

Just to clarify: do you mean it can be pursued in ways that don't exclude other goals?
