How much immediate suffering and death do you consider to be just as important to eliminate as a 1% existential risk? Answer in quality-adjusted-life-years (may be a very large number). Assume it's distributed over many people like a real world problem, not some kind of insane torture on a single person. Ignore the secondary impacts of short-run suffering and death (like animal, economic and environmental issues).
No responses yet for this question.
How much priority should we assign to politicians' general qualifications (like corruption, experience and so on), as opposed to their views and track record on policy issues? Set a number for comparison: if you write 2, then that means you think qualifications are twice as important; if you write 0.2, that means you think qualifications are 20% as important.
