Can someone create an “introduction to EA” sequence? I would love to do it, but I think that this should be done by an actual mod or someone from an official EA institution.
I love that sequence, but it’s specifically about motivation and how to cultivate it. An “Introduction to EA” sequences would ideally focus on introducing some of the key concepts and organizations. Something like Doing Good Better, but with a little more focus on the movement.
At the moment, we still plan to add more material to the initial sequence (I’m glad you liked it).
I’m currently working with someone who is writing an “EA encyclopedia” with detailed articles on a number of key terms and concepts, which will eventually replace many of the tags on the Forum (turning this site into something like an EA Wiki). I expect the existence of those articles to make producing further introductory material much easier, and I’ve deprioritzed further sequence-writing until that content starts to be available.
That said, a good intro sequence is something I won’t be able to produce quickly given all my other work. If someone wants to try producing part of it themselves (particularly if they’re introducing a certain cause area), I’d love to see that! I can review that person’s work, and what they’ve done could become part of an “official” introduction.
The EA handbook is being turned into a sequence.
