I think this is a great idea. A related idea I had is a competition for “intro to EA” pitches because I don’t currently feel like I can send my friends a link to a pitch that I’m satisfied with.
A simple version could literally just be an EA forum post where everyone comments an “intro to EA” pitch under a certain word limit, and other people upvote / downvote.
A fancier version could have a cash prize, narrowing down entries through EA forum voting, and then testing the top 5 through online surveys.
I think in a more general sense, we should create markets to incentivise and select persuasive writing on EA issues aimed at the public.
That’s a great idea! I’ve been trying to find a good intro to EA talk for a while and I recently came across the EA for Christians YouTube video about intro to EA and though it’s kinda leaning towards to the religious angle, it seemed like a pretty good intro for a novice. Would love to hear your thoughts about that. Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/Unt9iHFH5-E
