New EA music
José Gonzalez (GWWC member, EA Global performer, winner of a Swedish Grammy award) just released a new song inspired by EA and (maybe?) The Precipice.
Lyrics include:
Speak up
Stand down
Pick your battles
Look around
Reflect
Update
Pause your intuitions and deal with it
It’s not as direct as the songs in the Rationalist Solstice, but it’s more explicitly EA-vibey than anything I can remember from his (apparently) Peter Singer-inspired 2007 album, In Our Nature.

  “Visions”—another song he released in 2021 gives me very strong EA vibes. Lyrics include:
  Visions
  Imagining the worlds that could be
  Shaping a mosaic of fates
  For all sentient beings
  [...]
  Visions
  Avoidable suffering and pain
  We are patiently inching our way
  Toward unreachable utopias
  Visions
  Enslaved by the forces of nature
  Elevated by mindless replicators
  Challenged to steer our collective destiny
  Visions
  Look at the magic of reality
  While accepting with all honesty
  That we can’t know for sure what’s next
  No, we can’t know for sure what’s next
  But that we’re in this together
  We are here together
