I would love to read more posts that takes an assumption or belief and asks “if this were true, what would that mean for EA?”
Examples:
-If [choose one: dignity/fairness/beauty/freedom] is intrinsically valuable, what does that mean for EA? How does that affect our cause areas, charity and career recommendations, and community norms?
-If we assume that input from a wide variety of people provides robustly better outcomes when it comes to representing humanity’s values, what would that mean for far future-focused work?
-If we assume the EA movement has ~$200 billion in assets by 2030, such that funders are looking to donate $10+ billion per year, should we be expanding into new cause areas?
