Pretty confused by what some of the cause areas are (e.g. epistemic institutions). I expect my responses were less helpful/ accurate bc of not knowing what some of them meant.
Thanks for the feedback. Epistemic institutions are one of the FTX Future Fund project categories that they use in this post. I appreciate that that is fairly obscure! Do you think it would be helpful to link to this post and the 80k problem areas page from that question?
It seems to me that a decent part of the angle behind this survey is to get longtermists to consider exiting their jobs in order to found projects on the FTX Future Fund list. Do you think this is a fair assessment?
Given that I was aiming to spend only a few mins on the census, I don’t expect that I would have scrolled through the post to find the description of the cause area.

But some people might, so could be useful.
I think so
