I laughed out loud as I was scrolling down, and the third major section item was "Eliezer Yudkowsky". And you even included a little biography, "According to "Eliezer, the person," Eliezer Yudkowsky (born 1979) was an exceptionally bright kid"
I'm not sure if that was honestly intended to be a joke, or if I'm completely missing it.
Elevating him to the pantheon of history seems a bit premature as of yet; why not retitle the section with a summary of his contributions to thinking on AI risk? The same goes for Robin Hanson. I'm just picking on Eliezer because people accuse us of worshipping Eliezer, and this is exactly why.
It'd be a little more obvious if the understatement was more exaggerated, eg. just 'was a bright kid'.
