I disagree, but haven't had time to write why yet:)

What's an important (new) idea you haven't had time to argue for yet?

Maybe it would be a useful norm for people to have such a list of ideas; it would allow to move faster

2 of them:

there's a lot of advantages to video-recording your life (I want to write much more about this, and only took time for a very brief overview so far https://matiroy.com/writings/Should-I-record-my-life.html)
if MWI is true and today's cryonics is good enough, we can use quantum lottery to cryopreserve literally everyone for the cost of setting up a quantum lottery + some overhead (probably much less than 100k USD)

What are some things you would do (more) if you were less averse to being/looking weird?

An FAQ about yourself that is? I like this idea. When someone asks me a question that seems like it could be of interests to others, I ask them to post on my subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mati_Roy/ , but I think it's weird because it looks impersonal to some among other things.

In which ways have you self-improved that made you feel bad for not having done it earlier?

Thanks for your answer

Thanks for sharing! If you want to, I would be curious to know how the last 2 points made you feel bad for not adopting earlier (if there's anything more specific than just the general point)
