Would it be more meaningful to measure "having new ideas rather than evaluating existing ones" by the *number* of new ideas? Or should we put more weight on the *newness*—by which I mean "farthest away in idea-space from conventional ideas"—of ideas considered part of the EA movement? \n\nIf it's the latter, there seems to me a great deal of evidence that EA anchors for *more* creativity, not less. At the EA Summit I attended, advocates of the following ideas were heavily represented:\n\n - Artificial Intelligence as an Existential Threat is one of humanity's most important challenges\n - Death can and should be "cured" so that humans can live forever\n - Animal rights are just as important as human rights\n - People should reprogram their minds to become more rational\n\nAnd so on. These ideas are *seriously* new, and far away in idea-space from the mainstream. (A couple are just *barely* beginning to become respectable.)\n\nEA attracts eccentric intellectuals, who tend toward wild ideas like we should get off the planet, live forever, upload our brains into computers, experiment with alternate political systems on artificial islands, etc. Is it plausible these people are *less* creative than the general population? It doesn't seem so to me.', metaText: '', isTextLoaded: 'true', isSubscribedToDiscussion: 'false', isSubscribedToUser: 'false', isSubscribedAsMaintainer: 'false', discussionSubscriberCount: '1', maintainerCount: '1', userSubscriberCount: '0', lastVisit: '', hasDraft: 'false', votes: [], voteSummary: 'null', muVoteSummary: '0', voteScaling: '0', currentUserVote: '-2', voteCount: '0', lockedVoteType: '', maxEditEver: '0', redLinkCount: '0', lockedBy: '', lockedUntil: '', nextPageId: '', prevPageId: '', usedAsMastery: 'false', proposalEditNum: '0', permissions: { edit: { has: 'false', reason: 'You don't have domain permission to edit this page' }, proposeEdit: { has: 'true', reason: '' }, delete: { has: 'false', reason: 'You don't have domain permission to delete this page' }, comment: { has: 'false', reason: 'You can't comment in this domain because you are not a member' }, proposeComment: { has: 'true', reason: '' } }, summaries: {}, creatorIds: [ 'GlennDavis' ], childIds: [], parentIds: [ '70j' ], commentIds: [], questionIds: [], tagIds: [], relatedIds: [], markIds: [], explanations: [], learnMore: [], requirements: [], subjects: [], lenses: [], lensParentId: '', pathPages: [], learnMoreTaughtMap: {}, learnMoreCoveredMap: {}, learnMoreRequiredMap: {}, editHistory: {}, domainSubmissions: {}, answers: [], answerCount: '0', commentCount: '0', newCommentCount: '0', linkedMarkCount: '0', changeLogs: [ { likeableId: '0', likeableType: 'changeLog', myLikeValue: '0', likeCount: '0', dislikeCount: '0', likeScore: '0', individualLikes: [], id: '21258', pageId: '77x', userId: 'GlennDavis', edit: '2', type: 'newEdit', createdAt: '2017-01-04 00:16:58', auxPageId: '', oldSettingsValue: '', newSettingsValue: '' }, { likeableId: '0', likeableType: 'changeLog', myLikeValue: '0', likeCount: '0', dislikeCount: '0', likeScore: '0', individualLikes: [], id: '21257', pageId: '77x', userId: 'GlennDavis', edit: '1', type: 'newEdit', createdAt: '2017-01-04 00:15:42', auxPageId: '', oldSettingsValue: '', newSettingsValue: '' } ], feedSubmissions: [], searchStrings: {}, hasChildren: 'false', hasParents: 'true', redAliases: {}, improvementTagIds: [], nonMetaTagIds: [], todos: [], slowDownMap: 'null', speedUpMap: 'null', arcPageIds: 'null', contentRequests: {} }
