first i just want to say, thankyou for the incredible amount of work you've put in. I'll be visiting regularly to contribute and help grow this wiki. I hope we end up working constructively and collaborately :)

I hope you can feel that I'm offering criticism below as an ally working towards the same goals.

the following is related to this front page image:

my polite suggestion is that the 3 generator functions of existential and catestrophic risk could be more accurately described as:

• perverse economic incentive
• multipolar traps: tragedy of the commons / race to the bottom
• externalising harm while internalising benefit

across all the recordings from DS, these seem to the be three he mentions consistently.

The top box of the flowchart could be improved by making the following list the 'headliners' in larger text like a bill poster for a festival

• Biosphere Destruction
• AI Risk
• Biotech Risk
• Nuclear Risk

further topics that could be added:

• soil depletion
• resource depletion
• resource wars

towards the bottom i strongly suggest adding the word 'decentralised' to Global Coordination.

decades of conspiracy theories about a global one world government being the enemy will likely trigger a lot of people to see this as part of that, and we should take care to always point out that this is about distributing power to the many, not concentrating it into the hands of the few.

Hope this is helpful feedback
