I’m really excited to see this! Thank you for all the work you’ve put into it!
One piece of feedback (that others in the actual target audience are probably better to weigh in on): I noticed the people page currently seems to exclusively feature white Americans and Europeans, which I imagine might be offputting to some people the website is designed to reach.
Thank you Rockwell for taking the time to read and share your feedback, it’s much appreciated!
I fully agree with what you’ve mentioned. I might also add that the majority of the list are “white, heterosexual males.” Nonetheless, this composition reflects the reality of leading figures historically and presently within the movement (at least as far as my knowledge goes), and altering it to better align with our values isn’t feasible.
If there are other notable figures who play a significant role in leading the philosophy and movement, please do share.
Depending on what you are aiming to achieve with that section of the website, you don’t have to have notable figures, you could include people who are most relevant (or not include individuals at all).
For example Magnify Mentoring has people who have benefited from their mentoring programs. EA Philippines have photos of their local community. EA for Christians have stories from members on their community tab and no profiles of people on their intro page.
Agreed. It could be wise to consider removing the “People” section at this stage.
Initially, the concept was to have the website function as an entry point for EA, providing explanatory materials similar to utilitarianism.net, which has a dedicated page for key thinkers.
However, in our case and at this point, it’s not crucial to include leading EA figures.
