I agree with Aaron, though I might be more in favor than most people of “high-quality EA Forum discussion of things that are important for how the world works but aren’t obviously EA-flavored or actionable”. Vox probably isn’t a great source for topics, but I do think EA should be branching out increasingly into topics that don’t feel EA-ish, to build up models and questions that might feed into interventions further down the road.

I think monetary policy etc. has a lot of relevance to things EA cares about.
