Executive summary: Worldview diversification in effective altruism can lead to complex bargaining dynamics between worldviews, potentially resulting in resource allocations that differ significantly from initial credence-based distributions.
Key points:
Bargaining between worldviews can take various forms: compromises, trades, wagers, loans, and common cause coordination.
Compromises and trades require specific circumstances to be mutually beneficial, while wagers and loans are more flexible but riskier.
Common cause incentives arise from worldviews’ shared association within the EA movement.
Bargaining allows for more flexibility in resource allocation but requires understanding each worldview’s self-interest.
This approach differs from top-down prioritization methods, respecting worldviews’ autonomy in decision-making.
Practical challenges include ensuring compliance with agreements and managing changing circumstances over time.
