I’m pretty sure Narrow EA is usually used to refer to the strategy of influencing a small number of particularly influential people. That’s part of what I’m pushing back against (although we’ve deviated from the original discussion point, which was on organising vs mobilising). [got confused about which quicktake we were discussing]
I think all of the ERIs are narrow (they target talented researchers). A more broad project would be the Existential Risk Observatory, which aims to inform the public through mass media outreach. They’ve done a lot of good work in the Netherlands and abroad, but I don’t think they’ve been able to get funding from the biggest EA funds. I don’t know why but I suspect it’s because their main focus is the general public, and not the decision-makers.
