I would like to offer a simple personal note that my focus and energy has turned away from EA to climate change only. I now spend all of my time and energy on climate related matters. Though I still value EA’s approach to charity giving, it has begun to feel like a voice from the past, from a world that no longer exists. This is how it registers with me now.
I agree that I fall closer into this camp. Where the action tends to be towards climate change and that immediate threat, while I play intellectual exercises with EA. The focus on animal welfare and eating a vegan diet help the planet and fighting malaria are related to climate change. Other issues such as AI and nuclear war seem far fetched. It’s hard for me to see the impacts of these threats without preying on my fears. While climate change has an impact on my daily life. As I said in my above post that EA taught me to ask ‘what is the most pressing problem that humans face.’ To me it is clearly climate change and I moved on from there. I maybe disappointed that EA has not drawn the same conclusion.
