With a background in philosophy, particularly at its intersection with contemporary ethical challenges, I am dedicated to building a meaningful career that enables me to create a lasting, positive impact.
I am seeking opportunities in the realm of policy work related to effective altruism, with a particular focus on AI governance and catastrophic risk mitigation. My LinkedIn profile outlines my qualifications and experience in these areas. Please feel free to reach out to me via email at ethankielyspencer@outlook.com.
I have skills in writing, logic (various systems) and ethics.
I’m sharing the piece here, though I’ve since noticed a few critical assumptions I left unexamined. I’m currently working on a follow-up that addresses these oversights and explores their implications for the argument. Still, I believe it’s worth sharing this essay as it stands. Partly, it’s a way for me to track my own evolving engagement with this kind of thinking; partly, it’s an effort to be transparent about that evolution. Stay tuned for the rebuttal.
