I don’t feel like open philanthropy would answer my speculative emails. Now that you point it out they might, but in general I don’t feel worthy of their time.
(Originally I wrote this beaty of a sentence ” previously I don’t think I’d have thought they thought me worthy of their time.”)
If you really think GiveWell or Open Philanthropy is missing out on a lot of value by failing to pursue a certain strategy, it seems like you should aim to make the most convincing case you can for their sake!
(Perhaps it would be safer to write a post specifically about this topic, then send it to them; that way, even if there’s no reply, you at least have the post and can get feedback from other people.)
Also, possibly room for a “request citation” button. When you talk in different online communities it’s not clear how much citing you should do. An easy way to request and add citations would not require additional comments.
Noted on the lack of citations.
