Just saying, from my point of view, that it’s useful to also hear specific ways in which people misunderstand EA. Every time you give an example of that kind, like “what do people in the movement do?”, I feel like my brain is updating and will pay attention to this failure mode next time I have such a conversation.
I’m differentiating (1) “concrete examples of misunderstandings” from (2) sentences like “20% of understanding” or “explaining critical nuances of EA”: The latter isn’t actionable for me personally. (Though I understand why you said it and I’m excited for this improvement that you’re able to get, and I’m happy that someone like you is focusing on this project).
I totally agree. Though it’s not concrete examples, these two resources (1,2) are helpful.
Just thinking out loud: Diving deeper into each misconception and providing concrete examples (or even “simulations” for practice) might be a good idea for an EA pitching workshop
Thanks!
