I really hope this is the sort of thing that can be enabled by the (relatively recent) shift to principles-first EA as a community outreach organising mode.
Previously, EA was a union of three(ish) cause areas sharing the same infrastructure, and getting someone āinto EAā was basically about persuading them on one or more of the cause areas. I think this is a mistake.
I really think we have the opportunity to make EA more of an educational program on how to evaluate impact and optimise for effectiveness given the resources you have, as well as the provision of such resources insofar as they are copyable without marginal cost. And that means that this kind of stuff is included in the movement.
I couldnāt agree more. I anticipate there is information value in including more moderate perspectives too. EA is a small bubble and interacting with the rest of the world should help us to better understand how to communicate (especially with policy makers who have to consider the opinions of the electorate, a.k.a. ānormal peopleā)

Iāve signed up as a One for the World Community Ambassador to promote more effective giving at the 1% level, because I believe in EAās fringe!
