Loved it, set up the Hebrew crowed sourced translation project, we translated everything and printed it. I estimate over 1000 people bought a copy, not counting online readers, and the number is probably way higher, which I’m really proud of :)
The sequences / Rationality A to Z (effected me a lot)
One of the most influential things I’ve read. While reading it:
I noticed I’m not happy in an important partnership and broke up. Main technique: slowly changing my mind
I decided that the meat industry is indeed bad, yep
Not counting smaller things, or things from more than a month after finishing it

People who’ll geek out about priors with me!
EA Israel
Here’s a 2016 intro to EA I found myself doing (Hebrew link), I discussed return-on-investment of donations and was especially excited about translating 80k material. I still consider career advice to be a topic very close to my heart, and 80k to be an unusually important org.
EAG London (2020? 2019?)
My first interaction with the international community, which I considered to probably be scary superhuman people that know everything and I was afraid to even bother them with my email. I know, silly. If you feel like I used to, I hope you feel more comfortable to reach out.
Just before EAG I posted my offer for coaching software developers, which many people replied, met me at EAG, and until today I keep talking to developers, mostly over video.

EAG changed the way I see myself in the EA community.
Other projects
EA Colabs (volunteer’s board)
I used to be active there, trying to connect volunteers (collaborators) to projects that need them
Looking for the most impactful tech companies in Israel
Maybe I’ll write about it sometime
