OK, what names would we expect to promote action-orientation if “GP” wouldn’t?
I do not know. Let me try generating names for a minute. Sorry. These will be bad.
“Marginal World Improvers”
”Civilizational Engineers”
”Black Swan Farmers”
“Ethical Optimizers”
”Heavy-Tail People”
Okay I will stop now.
A friend’s “names guy” once suggested calling the EA movement “Unfuck the world”...
We can begin here.
EA popsci would be fun!
§1. The past was totally fucked.
§2. Bioweapons are fucked.
§3. AI looks pretty fucked.
§4. Are we fucked?
§5. Unfuck the world!
I will resist the temptation to further expand that list.
“Hello, I’m an Effective Altruist.”
“Hello, I’m a world-unfucker.”
Honestly, I think the second one might be more action-oriented. And less likely to attract status-seekers. Alright, I’m convinced, let’s do it :)
