+1 to being able to speak about these important topics and concepts to a broad, general audience.
+1 to striving to be inclusive.
+1 to making me laugh at the irony of how this post has some technical (jargon) words both in the title (what is “promisingness”? hehe) and in the post. (But to be fair: you know your audience here on the forum.)
+1 to your suggestions. Great suggestions :)
I’m reminded of the successes of scientific educators that this EA community could learn from. For example educators like Neil deGrasse Tyson or Kurzgesagt demonstrate how taking some of the most complex and difficult-to-understand topics and explaining them in simple, everyday language can actually get a huge, broad, and diverse audience to care about science and genuinely get excited about it (to the point of wanting to participate).
This is something I feel I have yet to see happen at a similar scale of success with EA. I tend to believe effective communication with the use of everyday language is one of the most important keys to “building effective altruism”.
