This is awesome. This is why I want to encourage more arts and humanities in EA. Not necessarily about EA but aligned, altruistic…in the same way people are moved by this film art moves people to do good…maybe through EA or maybe in some other channel…but the point to make to EA people is this: for as long as organized altruism has existed, back before EA made it more effective, art has always been a major force for impact. Many have been moved as this poster was via art to do good. EA was born of scientific ideas but all the greatest science voices use art to forward their good agendas. People who write books and make documentaries, who might have inspired you as a young student toward science or math or philosophy are actually artists and scientists. The reason Will MacAskill is more well known than others is that he speaks and writes more artfully…we need a lot more of that. It’s kind of normal.
