Iâd caution against equating âlack of support from Open Philanthropy and GiveWellâ with âlack of interest from people in the EA movementâ. There are a tiny number of people who contribute to how those organizations give out funding, and a lot of donors who might be open to a strong argument from a charity with a good track record in a different promising area.
The effective altruism (EA) movement dedicates minimal resources to studying the lessons, let alone attempting to replicate, the greatest poverty alleviation in living memory.
If someone is interested in this topic but doesnât have access to a big pile of money, what would you recommend they do? Is there a list of open problems /â research questions available somewhere?
I see the list of jobs on the CCI website â more than I expected! So thatâs a great start, but I wanted to check if there were things youâd recommend aside from donating money and applying for a role.
