Anecdote: I’m one of those people—would say I’d barely heard of ea / basically didn’t know what it was, before a friend who already knew of it suggested I come to an EA global (I think at the time one got a free t-shirt for referring friends). We were both philosophy students & I studied ethics, so I think he thought I might be intersted even though we’d never talked about EA.
