You humbly note that creating an ‘EA investment synthesis’ is above your pay grade. I would add that synthesizing EA investment ideas into a coherent framework is a collective effort that is above any single person’s pay grade. Also, that I would love to see more people from higher pay grades, both in EA and outside the community, making serious contributions to this set of issues. For example, top finance or economics researchers or related professionals. Finally, I’d also say that any EA with an altruistic strategy that relates to money (i.e. isn’t purely about direct work) has a stake in these issues and could benefit from further research on some of the topics you highlighted. So there’s a lot of things to discuss and a lot of reasons to keep the discussion going.
Thought provoking post, thanks Jackson.
