7.b. I’m content with my economic and geographic circumstances.
Needs fulfilled: equality, inclusion, fairness
Associated emotions: contentment, happiness, hope
Description: “I feel content with my own economic and geographic circumstances and don’t find myself envious of EAs who have greater wealth or live in countries with better infrastructure and governance. I’m grateful that EA creates opportunities for meaningful contribution regardless of location or wealth. I’ve benefited enormously from mentorship by more established EAs who’ve generously shared their knowledge, connections, and opportunities with me. The movement’s increasing focus on remote participation, travel grants, and global events means I don’t feel excluded by my circumstances. Many wealthy EAs live modestly and donate generously, which I find admirable rather than frustrating. The focus on impact means that good work gets recognised whether you’re based in San Francisco or rural Bangladesh.”
