Hello, Willa! I’ve activated the Markdown Editor for you — not sure why it wasn’t working. (I’m the lead moderator/​admin here.)
There’s a lot of stuff on the Forum. Perhaps the best way to start out is to browse the top posts of all time and read whatever looks interesting. I don’t love all the posts on that list, but they’re a reasonable sample of the topics that get a lot of interest here.
The natural book recommendation would be Toby Ord’s The Precipice if you haven’t read it yet; I’ve liked the bits I’ve read, and reviews from outside of EA have been solid.

Thank you! I edited my post so it looks nicer now :)
I appreciate the recommendations, I’ll check out the top posts /​ sequences on the forum plus Toby Ord’s The Precipice.
