Just wanted to introduce myself. I’m a musician and writer based in Boston. And I’m never not thinking about climate change.
I found EA after looking up the word “longtermism” which peaked my interest after reading the Vox article “How to be a good ancestor.” Never before has an “ism” so clicked with my own personal philosophy, and it felt like a relief to find a community that explores these ideas with such a clear-minded and logical approach.
I’m also really curious about climate change and identifying neglected problems! (Ex: plant fewer trees, better monitor how much CO2 those trees absorb)
I’m kinda just a student though :D I’m from Toronto and I always found myself wondering HOW to act on my desire to impact neglected climate issues. Did you ever feel that way in your career? (I ask because most musicians/writers aren’t extremely active with climate change, so you maybe were in a niche community too?)
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I’m a musician and writer based in Boston. And I’m never not thinking about climate change.
I found EA after looking up the word “longtermism” which peaked my interest after reading the Vox article “How to be a good ancestor.” Never before has an “ism” so clicked with my own personal philosophy, and it felt like a relief to find a community that explores these ideas with such a clear-minded and logical approach.
Thank you all for caring.
Welcome! Glad you found us.

maybe you find this overview of longtermism interesting if you have not already found it:
