Out of curiosity, what is the inclusion criteria for frontpage posts? Ignoring the broader global well-being considerations, if this is a “meta intervention” to increase the well-being/effectiveness of EAs, would that be “relevant to doing good effectively” which is the stated description for frontpage posts?
See this post — outdated in places, but the “personal blog” section is still accurate.
Currently meant to be “personal blog”:
Posts related to personal health or productivity (unless there is a clear connection to EA work; for example, a post on research productivity)
That’s why it’s hard to categorize the stress post. It could make some reader more productive and impactful, but if that’s the case, so would a post about buying a more comfortable chair, or a post about finding the best ice cream to make yourself happier and more motivated — there’s a line to be drawn somewhere. (Or we could do away with the system and just ask people to use the Forum’s built-in tag features; it wouldn’t surprise me if this eventually happened.)
