Good evening. I have just signed up for this forum. I have been interested in effective altruism, on and off, for about ten years. If you’re wondering why I have not been more focused in my long-term attention, I keep getting distracted in whether I really believe in socialism or Quakerism or whatever. I like the philosophy behind things. When I lived in London, I attended events fairly regularly. When I moved back to the Leeds area, I let this drop.
I am a middle-ranking civil service in Britain. I have come to the conclusion that I’ve not done as well as I could have done with my career, which is probably because I spend too much time reading and thinking, and not enough time doing.
I am hoping that engagement with this forum will give me a sense of community and spur me on to do more good work in the real world.
Hi Edward! Welcome to the Forum! Let me know if you’d like any tips on using the Forum (where to find the conversations you are looking for, what to post, etc...) Cheers, Toby (Content Manager for the EA Forum)
