I’m super excited about this! This newsletter is very valuable for me: I often find myself saving a link or two for later (that I might perhaps get around to someday) when reading an EA forum post, but here, there were five resources you linked to that I’ve just scheduled time to read / check out.
Also, I found the interview really interesting – fanaticism in decision theory and ethics is one of my key uncertainties re “putting ethics into practice, knowing about longtermism” and global priorities research. To make things even more.. frightening(?), I’m not sure how much taking moral uncertainty into account could help against fanaticism.. Fanaticism is certainly a thorny issue, so I’m glad there seems to be increasingly much research being done on that front.
One more point of feedback: In a comment on the March 2022 edition, someone mentioned they think it’s too long for a newsletter. I personally think otherwise, so consider this one vote *against* trying to make the newsletter shorter. :)
