This is a really cool project! Just want to plug this as a really good opportunity to rigorously study how EA ideas spread: a quick 5-minute pre- and post-survey asking participants Likert-style questions about their positions on various EA-relevant topics and perhaps their style of argument/conversation would be potentially high-value here.
Since assignment will be randomized, there’s a real opportunity here to draw causal conclusions about how ideas spread, even if the external validity will be largely restricted to the EA population.
Just want to follow up to acknowledge that I see that you’re already conducting a survey and that I’m proposing you add a set of questions about personal beliefs/stances/positions.
