Terms that seem to have some of the good properties of âEA-alignedâ without running into the âassuming your own virtueâ problem:
âLongtermistâ (obviously not synonymous with âEA-alignedâ, but it accurately describes a subset of orgs within the movement)
âImpact-drivenâ or something like that (indicating a focus on impact without insisting that the focus has led to more impact)
âHigh-potentialâ or âpromisingâ (indicating that theyâre pursuing a cause area that looks good by standard EA lights, without trying to assume success â still a bit self-promotional, though)
Actually referring to the literal work being done, e.g. âMalaria prevention orgâ, âAlternative protein companyâ
...but when you get at the question of what links together orgs that work on malaria, alternative proteins, and longtermist research, I think âEA-alignedâ is a more accurate and helpful descriptor than âhigh-impactâ.
