Ideas

A collection of ideas at various stages of development.

• Net Zero from Day ZeroThere will come a day when all new companies will be Net Zero from the day they start. There should be a platform that enables this.
• The Dual Rationality HypothesisThe Joint Hypothesis Problem can be generalised to any test for rationality. Any test for rationality requires a model of rationality to test against, meaning models of rationality can never fully be rejected.
• IdeawareIdeas can be thought of as software for thinking. In the same way as you have a Tech Stack, you can have a Personal Idea Stack. Your idea stack is the collection of ideas you use to interpret the world.
• Impact ArbitrageWhy doesn't charitable giving behave like investing? Because there is no impact arbitrage. There is (1) no absolute metric for impact and (2) no means to trade impact among givers. If there were, charity would look more like effective altruism. We could change this.
• An AMC for Carbon TaxesWhy don't companies voluntarily commit to an AMC for carbon taxes? This would incentivise governments to introduce a carbon tax.
• A Marketplace for AMCsAdvance Market Commitments will soon be privatised and apply to many markets. There should (and soon will) be a marketplace for AMCs.
• Comparative Advantage for StartupsComparative Advantage explains why startups can outcompete incumbents. They have a lower opportunity cost to effort.
• Confidence ExpectationsA variable for confidence is the missing link between Rational Expectations and Behavioural Economics.
• Learning Efficiency in AI SystemsLearning efficiency as a measure of AI intelligence. How many repetitions of a game does it take for the AI system to become good, relative to a human?
