Inner to Outer Alignment
What inner skills or qualities do you feel are most needed to make decisions that have a truly positive impact in the world?
A strong skepticism of flashy marketing.
Really, I think this one is massively under-emphasised because of the necessity of marketing tactics to many of EA’s outreach efforts.
But I think that learning to decouple actual measurable impact from a slick, well-presented, eye-catching markety whatever is a huge part of becoming the kind of EA that can be trusted with power. And that happens by developing an almost aesthetic revulsion to anything that looks too flashy: a personal warning system to proceed with caution and not be taken in by something attempting to hijack your importance-measuring-sense.
