Frankly, I prefer to get funding from companies that sponsor rugby teams when they're not sponsoring FHI

Given if all goes really well I will be part-time researching for FHI for three years funded by the Brazilian government, I can share that sentiment. The money will be going from researching Descartes's lost letters to Spinoza to X-Risks. It will feel like I've just used a cheat code in utility space.

EDIT: After stating the above my motivation increased about omega-fold. I will print it and affix it on my fridge!
