I think every cause can be presented normally/weirdly depending on how you do it, it was just in that example Kelsey was discussing global dev and I think a lot of people in EA assume that more people are interested in global development as they are just looking outside their bubble into a slightly larger bubble.
I would agree that it’s usually best to introduce people to ideas closer to their interests (in any cause area) before moving onto related ones. Although sometimes they’ll be more interested in the ‘weird’ ideas before getting involved in EA, and EA helps them approach it practically.
