Your observation about the perception of EA at UCT and the emphasis on immediate impact versus long-term considerations is an intriguing one.

The aspiration for Africa to become self-reliant is a point of agreement that many EAs share, we appreciate your mention of this perspective, “Growth and the case against randomista development” as we hadn’t heard nor read about it until you mentioned it. We’re also grateful for the podcast suggestion and will be sure to check it out.
Your critique about the post potentially perpetuating the idea that EA is solely about existential risks or “crazy ideas” is duly noted. As you said, our experience is our experience. It’s important to emphasise that EA encompasses a broad range of cause areas, including global health and development, and it’s crucial to recognise the diversity of focus within the movement.
