If an em is running at 10x speed, do they get 10x the voting power, since someone being in power for the next 4 years will be 40 subjective years for them?
If ems can convert money to speed, this approximately means "more power to rich people". Just saying.
In em scenario we set rich people as the first ems. Don't know how broad this is, but Robin expect a small group of people with lots of copies.
I've heard things like this before. This is one reason why it's a good idea to run your writing by someone else before you "publish"; you can get a better idea of whether what you wrote actually says what you wanted it to.
This is academic habit, but vulnerable to group bias. Normally, you don't send drafts to experts who strong disagree with your statements, but close friends who wants to read what you write.
I've started a blog, yesterday.
I've see only a math post. Do you plan to write in what kind of topics?
Students are often quite capable of applying economic analysis to emotionally neutral products such as apples or video games, but then fail to apply the same reasoning to emotionally charged goods to which similar analyses would seem to apply. I make a special effort to introduce concepts with the neutral examples, but then to challenge students to ask wonder why emotionally charged goods should be treated differently.

The Open Society and Its Enemies by Sir Karl Popper surveys Western philosophy up to the mid 1900s.
The Porverty of Historicism is another book. BTW, the overall approach, making theories restrictive enough.
I think people who blog normally expose inconclusive thoughts or drafts, but not complete solutions. Or wants to teach more people, and build a community. In academic format, this is not so easy.
Interested too. And will be particularly useful if consider topics which are not easy to find in other sources: giving, x-risk, disruptive technologies, cryonics.
Mostly decisions about large scale intervetions could be settled in economics terms. However, MIRI recent strategic change to math questions inform us the difficulty of heuristics approach. The amount of resources needed to find very noisy information about factors for some kind of scenario, seems very costly.
