I agree with you that we should reward impact more and I like your suggestions. I think that having more better incentives for searching for and praising/rewarding ‘doers’ is one model to consider. I can imagine a person in CEA being responsible for noticing people who are having underreported impact and offering them conditional grants (e.g., finacial support to transition to do more study/full time work) and providing them with recognition by posting about and praising their work in the forum.
