Thanks for writing about democracy preservation. I agree it's tractable. I also think systemic change advocacy is incredibly important, and hitherto neglected in the EA community. It seems like tides are changing!
Thank you for doing this work. I've been door-knocking to message-test for my advocacy organization. I very much agree there is very little "AI literacy" among most people in the US/the world.
Certain framings work well at activating people, like focusing on Big Tech & political corruption. The goal is, in my opinion, to make sure politicians/law-makers are AI-literate and the general public is directionally in support of AI safety.
You're very right that advocacy is severely neglected
Consider that taking political action for AI safety can be higher impact than a job at a technical research org, and you can work doing anything while doing that!
