Be more cooperative. (There are arguments about increasing cooperation, especially from people working on reducing S-risks, but I couldn’t find any suitable resource in a brief search)
I share the view that that could be a good suggestion for an action/proxy in line with everyday longtermism.
Thanks! I didn’t see any post under that tag that had the type of argument I had in mind, but I think that this article by Brian Tomasik was what I intended (which I found now from the reading list you linked).
Yeah, I should’ve said “resources on cooperation (including in the relevant sense)”, or something like that. The tag’s scope is a bit broad/messy (though I still think it’s useful—perhaps unsurprisingly, given I made it :D).
Yea, I think the tag is great! I was surprised that I couldn’t find a resource from the forum, not that the tag wasn’t comprehensive enough :)
It might be nice if someone would collect resources outside the forum and publish each one as a forum linkpost so that people could comment and vote on them and they’d be archived in the forum.
I’ve often thought pretty much exactly the same thought, but have sometimes held back because I don’t see that done super often and thus worried it’d be weird or that there was some reason not to. Your comment has made me more inclined to just do it more often.
Though I do wonder where the line should be. E.g., it’d seem pretty weird to just try to link post every single journal article on nuclear war which I found useful.
Maybe it’s easier to draw the line if this is mostly limited to posts by explicitly EA people/orgs? Then we aren’t opening the door to just trying to linkpost the entire internet :D
Yea, I don’t know. I think that it may even be worthwhile to linkpost every such journal article if you also write your notes on these and cross-link different articles, but I agree that it would be weird. I’m sure that there must be a better way for EA to coordinate on such knowledge building and management.
(Partly prompted by this thread, I’ve made a question post on whether pretty much all content that’s EA-relevant and/or created by EAs should be (link)posted to the Forum.)

Two collections of resources on cooperation (in the relevant sense) are the Cooperation & Coordination tag and (parts of) EA reading list: moral uncertainty, moral cooperation, and values spreading.
