I definitely identify with where youâre coming from here, but these insights might also imply a potential partner post on âHow to avoid EA senescence (if you want to)â.
Based on your examples, this might look like:
Specialise, even if itâs not your jobâdive very deep into at least one relevant EA area. If you can find something you find interesting and neglected, can you become top 1% knowledgeable (within EA) in an obscure sub-field?
Develop (and share) a niche perspective on where to donate based on your specific worldview. If youâre very convinced about insect sentience, or you lean negative utilitarian, you will very quickly realise that EA Funds are not the highest EV option for you!
Prioritise boosting/âmaintaining your âEA energyâ

These are good ideas. I think I wrote this post in a bit of a negative frame of mind, thank you for the positive lens!
