I think the Center for Reducing Sufferingās Open Research Questions may be a helpful addition to Research ideas. (Do let me know if you think otherwise!)
I definitely think that that list is within-scope for this document, but (or āand relatedlyā) Iāve already got it in the Central directory for open research questions thatās linked to from here.
There are many relevant collections of research questions, and Iāve already included all the ones Iām aware of in that other post. So I think it doesnāt make sense to add any here unless I think the collection is especially worth highlighting to people interested in testing their fit for (longtermism-related) research.
I think the 80k collection fits that bill due to being curated, organised by discipline, and aimed at giving a representative sense of many different areas. I think my āCrucial questionsā post fits that bill due to being aimed at overviewing the whole landscape of longtermism in a fairly comprehensive and structured way (though of course, thereās probably some bias in my assessment here!).
I think my history topics collection fits that bill, but Iām less sure. So Iāve now added below it the disclaimer āThis is somewhat less noteworthy than the other linksā.
I think my RSP doc doesnāt fit that bill, really, so in the process of writing this comment Iāve decided to move that out of this post and into my Central directory post.
(The fact that this post evolved out of notes I shared with people also helps explain why stuff I wrote has perhaps undue prominence here.)
