EAC and EA: The Role of Government in Long-Termism
The main disagreement between EA and EAC, particularly in long-termism, lies in the role of government. While EAC individuals advocate for minimal state intervention, EA long-termists recognize the need for government regulation in technologies that pose unprecedented risks to humanity and the future. This shift in thinking emphasizes the importance of mitigating existential risks as a global public good that the market cannot effectively address, leading to the conclusion that state intervention is crucial in regulating industries to prevent existential catastrophes in the future.
