Policy-research disclaimer
Extinction Bounties publishes theoretical economic and legal mechanisms
intended to stimulate scholarly and public debate on catastrophic-risk
governance. The site offers policy analysis and advocacy only in the sense of
outlining possible legislative or contractual frameworks.
No legal or financial advice
Nothing here should be treated as a substitute for qualified legal counsel,
financial due diligence, or regulatory guidance. Readers remain responsible
for ensuring their actions comply with the laws and professional standards of
their own jurisdictions.
Exploratory and personal views
All scenarios, numerical examples and opinions are research hypotheses
presented by the author in a personal capacity. They do not represent the
views of the author's employer, funding bodies, or any governmental
authority.
Implementation caveats
Any real-world adoption of these ideas would require democratic
deliberation, statutory authority, and robust safeguards against misuse.
References to enforcement, penalties, or "bounties" are illustrative models,
not instructions or invitations to engage in private policing or unlawful
conduct. Nothing here is directed at any identifiable individual — see
non-targeting.
No warranty and limited liability
Content is provided "as is" without warranty of completeness or accuracy;
the author disclaims liability for losses arising from reliance on this
