I recently moved to a (nearby) EA hub to live temporarily with some other EA’s (and some non-EA’s), while figuring out my next steps in my life/career.
This has considerably increased my involvement. The ability to talk about EA over lunch, dinner, and to join meetups that are 5 minutes away make a big difference. As well as finding nice people I connect with socially/emotionally.
I suppose COVID had somewhat of a positive influence here too: I am less likely to attend a wide range of events, because I don’t know people’s approaches to safety. This leaves more time for EA.
