Thanks for sharing! I haven’t had a chance to dive super deep though the piece on improving institutions was very theoretical. Here’s the direct link to the comment I left on that post in case you’re at all curious.
Also a random tech support-ish q that I’m not sure where to put. How does one do something like the “improving institutions” with the little circle so that all the forum posts under that topic pop up? Also a meta q: where one direct these types of getting starting tech support q’s? Thanks!
Lastly regarding the articles you sent, how does “practicing compassion and generosity with those around us” get operationalized in the EA community?

The most salient example that comes to mind may be going vegetarian/vegan (for ethical and/or climate reasons), which (a little less than) half of the community members claimed to have done, according to a survey.
Apart from that there’s also everyday altruism, e.g. helping granny cross the street.
Nothing more comes up, though I had only thought about this for twenty seconds so I have probably missed something.

It’s just a link to the topic page, like you linked to a post. You can find all topics here https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/topics/all (on the left on the homepage there is a “topics” link).
There’s the Open Thread on the homepage, How to use the Forum, the Feature Suggestion Thread, or the support/feedback chat in the bottom right (at least on desktop)
