I am a two-level utilitarian (I follow Moral Partiality). The ideas/policies I suggest below are based on my evaluation of these issues through that lens.
- figuring out AI
- carbon pricing
- international student exchange

- making sure fascism is impossible
- getting rid of senate and electoral college and 2nd amendment
- unfucking america? civics education? teaching why the nazis believed what they did
- internet accountability
- Middleware?

- journalist certification (china?, destiny), disclosure of income
- ban all algorithms (destiny, prob bad idea)

- getting rid of interchange fees, pix, monopoly
- banning crypto. (maybe not, banning shit is tough)
