Interesting, so that comes to a cost-effectiveness of $333,333 per highly engaged EA, which doesn’t seem that cost-effective to me. $33,333 or $3,333 per person (so $100M or $10M to get 3k more EAs) sound like better numbers to me, and I think those numbers are actually quite doable.
CEA’s Community Building Grants seem like they could approach the $33,333 or $3,333 per person number, though it’s not that highly scalable.
For me, the takeaway is that the actual cost of generating interest in EA (Brian’s $4 cost per graduated EA fellow from below) is significantly below our little group’s estimates of what an engaged EA is worth ($3K -$30K as noted above).
I think everyone would agree an engaged EA is worth more than $4.
If someone is reading this who would know how to scale FB ads for EA university fellowships that seems like an extremely high impact thing to do.
