I really enjoyed this post! Thanks for sharing it.
I would be keen to try to understand which of these points raised in ‘Concluding thoughts’ should be most seriously considered by the average EA. I feel like (3) is often considered, (1) is maybe a push that many individuals get from appeals to novelty. However, (2) I think is under-discussed and I would like to see more modelling using it. For example, some models could attempt to apply this: in mental health of an EA, in motivation of an EA, in persistence of a charity, in persistence of an EA group.
I wonder if this is inline with other’s intuitions? Or if there are other ways these points could be explored?
As an aside, I think I would have appreciated the 3 summarised points in’ Concluding thoughts’ points to be included in the TLDR or somehow at the beginning of the article. I think they are really well worded and it might help individuals to get a grasp on the key ideas without having to engage with the entire post. This doesn’t detract from the article as a whole, but seems a small cost that could benefit future skim-readers.
