Could you operationalize what “attractive” means a little more? The closest I could discern is ideas that offer “more social status and enjoyment.” It seems that concepts like “I think I could more easily get funding for this / get a good salary doing this / have some work-life balance doing this” would also count on this axis.
Everything that you mentioned would be fall under “attractive”. I’m referring to anything that would make an idea appealing to work on (besides impactfulness).
Thanks for the clarification. One important qualification on the EA focus / normie focus chart, then, is that an idea’s “attractiveness” score may be significantly different for the average non-EA vs. the average EA.

Good point.
