This is super interesting. I love that someone has taken EA to TikTok so thank you all for your hard and very innovative work!
Two questions:
How come you went for the replaceability and suffering per calorie concepts for your promotional videos? On first glance, these seem like slightly more esoteric EA concepts (especially suffering per calorie) that wouldn’t be as appealing to those new to EA. My fairly uneducated guess would be that something more simple/easy to understand like prospecting for gold could be fairly good—as it’s a clear analogy related to the core of EA.
Relatedly, have you got ideas for upcoming videos or will you wait until the survey results come back?
They were just videos we had already wanted to make. I don’t have a strong opinion about them being better than prospecting for gold.
I have a long backlog of video ideas, but unfortunately I’m not sure when I will get to them. I think these TikTok results are reasonably promising, but still pretty clearly less impactful in my work at CEA and Lacey’s bioinformatics work. (If people have different models here though, I would be interested to hear that.)
