Hmm, I’m not sure if that’s true. People really like animals, people find emerging technology/futurism interesting, and even some of the weirder ideas (eg., philosophy of mind, aliens) are captivating to people (at least when dumbed down somewhat). Contrast these ideas with wonky political ideas like monetary policy or open borders, and I’d guess that EA-issues come out ahead of neoliberal issues on interest.
Yeah, but they might be shocked that we think of some of “the weirder ideas” as the most pressing. Most people think the economy, civil rights, climate change, etc. are the biggest issues.
