I think HPMOR has a good chance of being the most important thing anyone on this list ever does.

Rational DanArmak knows about UFAI and how he can't weigh miniscule probabilities correctly and so on.

Emotional DanArmak is praying oh dear god when HPMOR ends please please let Eliezer go on writing fiction.

He's been writing fiction for a long time. I wouldn't worry.

I know that, but he's never written long-form fiction before, and may never do so again. It does take a lot of time.
