[Question] Are EAs interested in using or consuming more diagrams or data visualisations?

[Joseph Bloom]

I’ve been thinking about how ideas are communicated on the forum and noticed that often posts are text/​links.

I’m curious whether many EAs would:

1. Like to communicate more content using diagrams or data visualisation?

2. Like to consume more content with diagrams or data visualisation?

For example:

• Excalidraw diagrams: https://​​excalidraw.com/​​

• More work like this: https://​​forum.effectivealtruism.org/​​posts/​​c5f9bL8f3YenLmqSc/​​new-data-visualisations-of-the-ea-forum

Some ideas of what this could look like:

• finding/​popularising tools which make it easier to communicate ideas/​data.

I find it plausible that this isn’t needed/​worth much attention, but I wanted to test the idea. If there’s a lot of enthusiasm, I might put more effort into this.
