# Maybe anti-ASI protests should be done as tours

Disclaimer
 - **Thinking aloud, may not endorse after a lot of thought**

Main
 - In various posts on my blog, I have suggested a number of different protest spots for the anti-ASI movement
   - (Listing spots besides the US AI company offices, where anti-ASI protests have already happened)
   - Powerful people
     - Protest at Fort Meade - to get attention of US intelligence community
     - Protest at whichever conferences in LA all the top youtubers attend
     - Protest at some spot in Taipei city - to get attention of Taiwanese politicians and billionaires
     - (Maybe) Protest at Capitol - to get attention of US politicians
   - Public
     - Protest at NeurIPS / ICML - to get attention of future recruits for AI companies
     - Protest at all the top QS-ranked STEM colleges
     - (Right now anti-ASI movement has only cracked scalable persuasion for young atheist technical high IQ nerds who haven't yet locked in their career path. Until they crack scalable persuasion for a different audience, might as well double down on what actually seems to work even a little bit.)
 - One major issue is just, all this takes a lot of time and money. **It might actually be far more efficient for a group to visit all the protest spots in a continuous tour within a span of a couple weeks.**
