I don’t think my opinion is affected much by the study
Specifically, my opinions on how to be successful
And also my opinions on whether to give “to everyone, all the time, in any way”
I don’t think I’d change my mind about this even if you’d present me with a study showing the opposite result (For example: I wouldn’t start giving to everyone all the time in any way, I wouldn’t stop giving completely)
Also, I’m not strongly optimizing for “being successful” anyway (and I don’t think almost anyone else on the forum is either)
I do think it’s healthy to remind EAs sometimes not to give themselves away completely
We do definitely have problems like “burnout”, and I do sometimes hear people referencing posts like this one as helping them
I don’t know if this was useful, I mainly think commenting on people’s first post is nice and I like it when people comment on my own posts. So hi and welcome :)
Hey Rakefet :)
My short thoughts on this:
Makes sense, I think I agree
