I think this post is really useful — more people should probably see it — and I’m curating it (although it’s not the sort of thing I usually curate).
To quote the Celebrations and gratitude thread from September:
We often have high standards in effective altruism. This seems absolutely right: our work matters, so we must constantly strive to do better.But we think that it’s really important that the effective altruism community celebrate successes:If we focus too much on failures, we incentivize others/ourselves to minimize the risk of failure, and we will probably be too risk averse.We’re humans: we’re more motivated if we celebrate things that have gone well

Thanks for all your work, everyone.
