“Consider thanking whoever helped you” by Kevin Xia 🔸 6:35

4d ago6:35

6:35

TL;DR: If a (meta) org had a meaningful impact on you (in line with what they hope to achieve), you should probably tell them. It is essential for their impact reporting, which is essential for them to continue operating. You are likely underestimating just how valuable your story is to them. It could be thousands of dollars worth. Thanks to Toby T…

“You’re Enough” by lynettebye 3:54

11d ago3:54

I told someone recently I would respect them if they only worked 40 hours a week, instead of their current 50-60. What I really meant was stronger than that. I respect people who do the most impactful work they can — whether they work 70 hours a week because they can, 30 hours so they can be home with their kid, or 15 hours because of illness or bu…

How to prevent infighting, mitigate status races, and keep your people focused. Cross-posted from my Substack. Organizational culture changes rapidly at scale.

My new book, Altruismo racional, is now on presale. It is my attempt at presenting a compelling case for a particular strand of "classical EA"[1]: one that emphasizes caring deeply about global health and poverty, a rational approach to giving, the importance of cost-effectiveness, and the 🔸10% Pledge.

I’m a long-time GiveWell donor and an ethical vegan. In a recent GiveWell podcast on livelihoods programs, providing animals as “productive assets” was mentioned as a possible program type.

This is a link post. This is a personal essay about my failed attempt to convince effective altruists to become socialists.

“Should we aim for flourishing over mere survival? The Better Futures series.” by William_MacAskill, Forethought 9:16

9:16

Today, Forethought and I are releasing an essay series called Better Futures, here.[1] It's been something like eight years in the making, so I’m pretty happy it's finally out! It asks: when looking to the future, should we focus on surviving, or on flourishing? In practice at least, future-oriented altruists tend to focus on ensuring we survive (o…

“Alcohol is so bad for society that you should probably stop drinking” by Kat Woods 🔶 ⏸️ 15:36

This is a cross post written by Andy Masley, not me. I found it really interesting and wanted to see what EAs thought of his arguments. This post was inspired by similar posts by Tyler Cowen and Fergus McCullough. My argument is that while most drinkers are unlikely to be harmed by alcohol, alcohol is drastically harming so many people that we shou…

“Frog Welfare” by Chad Brouze 2:48

This morning I was looking into Switzerland's new animal welfare labelling law. I was going through the list of abuses that are now required to be documented on labels, and one of them made me do a double-take: "Frogs: Leg removal without anaesthesia." This confused me. Why are we talking about anaesthesia? Shouldn't the frogs be dead before having…

This is Part 1 of a multi-part series, shared as part of Career Conversations Week. The views expressed here are my own and don't reflect those of my employer.

In a job market where some EA and animal advocacy roles attract over 1,300 applicants, relying on traditional applications alone is unl…

“Is EA still ‘talent-constrained’?” by SiobhanBall 3:09

Since January I’ve applied to ~25 EA-aligned roles. Every listing attracted hundreds of candidates (one passed 1,200). It seems we already have a very deep bench of motivated, values-aligned people, yet orgs still run long, resource-heavy hiring rounds. That raises three things: Cost-effectiveness: Are months-long searches and bespoke work-tests st…

“We should be more uncertain about cause prioritization based on philosophical arguments” by Rethink Priorities, Marcus_A_Davis 45:34

2M ago45:34

45:34

Summary In this article, I argue most of the interesting cross-cause prioritization decisions and conclusions rest on philosophical evidence that isn’t robust enough to justify high degrees of certainty that any given intervention (or class of cause interventions) is “best” above all others. I hold this to be true generally because of the reliance …
