I believe many interventions in this area could be cost-effective. However, given the vastness of the space, each project’s cost-effectiveness and expected value should be carefully assessed and compared against the most effective charities in EA.
I wanted to underline this because this is also a quite “sweet” idea, where you spread EA ideas with the world, and due to the sweetness of the idea, sometimes even the EA community forgets about the fat-tailed nature of impact. The bar for effectiveness we have should be kept the same, and if math doesn’t math we should stop doing this type of intervention
Great post! Thanks for writing it.
