It feels like if there were more money held by EAs some projects would be much easier:
Lots of animal welfare lobbying
Donating money to the developing world
AI lobbying
Paying people more for work trials
I don’t know if there are some people who are much more suited to earning than to doing direct work. It seems to me they’re quite similar skill sets. But if they’re really sort of at all different, then you should really want quite different people to work on quite different things.

I agree, but I don’t know why you think people should move from direct work (or skill building) to e2g. Is the argument that the best things require very specialised labour, so on priors, more people should e2g (or raise capital in other ways) than do direct work?
