I don’t know what exactly the target group is supposed to be, but when it is indeed everybody with a strong analytical mindset, with strong chances of success in an EA cause area, then I think we want to appear more high-profile/academic?
This isn’t about the German translation specifically, but I don’t think EA/longtermism should be aimed specifically at people with an analytic mindset. We have many of those, and the analytical side is pretty strongly ingrained in the ideas and materials of the movement. But we lack people with other perspectives that might contribute to our efforts or improve our concepts of what a better world is. Less-analytical parts of EA are “neglected” in a way.
I think both EA and longtermism are demanding a lot of critical thinking and we should thus encourage that the movement also consists of analytical people in the future.
Though I also agree that EA probably lacks many less analytical disciplines such as marketing.
What kinds of people exactly do have in mind that the community needs more?
I think I mixed some things up semantically (can’t find anything good to back my understanding of it), so I retracted my comment. I’m not native in English either 😅
But I’d like to see more e.g. psychologists, anthropologists, social workers, artists of various kinds in EA.
