Would you say then that general EA movement building is likely to be more important in US? To make this more concrete: at the current margin do you think one additional person doing EA movement building in US is likely to do more good than one additional person doing EA movement building in UK?
This will of course depend both on how influential the US relative to the UK, but also on how well-known EA currently is in UK versus US. My impression is that the proportion of Americans who are EAs is far less than the proportion of British who are EAs, so the US is likely to win on both metrics.
Thanks, this is very useful.
