Speaking for myself, objections (2) and (3) don’t hold for me—I’m not familiar with all of the IBCs, and I’ve changed my mind on the most pressing problems multiple times in the past year. I also like the idea of making a flowchart for this, perhaps one that the community can edit so it can be kept up to date with the latest knowledge about EA causes without a single person or org being the weakest link.
One suggestion: I think equity and human rights are potential IBCs that a lot of people care about, so I think it’s worth exploring their implications for cause selection.
I really appreciate this post!
