I could say much more about this topic, but I’ll keep my comment short for lack of time:
I agree that it would be better if EA was more representative and had more geographic and ethnic diversity. I think that’s true though regardless of if this century is the most important century. I still strongly upvoted this post though because it highlights how EA’s diversity is important from a longtermist perspective too.
If you or anyone else is interested about the topic of growing EA in developing countries, you can watch this Q&A I did with the Hispanic EA community about how we started and grew EA Philippines, and some advice of mine that might cross-apply to other groups starting or operating in developing countries.
Thank you so much for sharing! Agreed that it’s important regardless of if the century is the most important. If you’re interested, see my response to Linch above on this.
I watched the Q&A and wrote up notes to it as I was watching—thought I would make them sharable in case anyone else involved in community organising wants to see the main points but doesn’t have time to watch! Notes here.
Thanks so much for taking these notes! I’ve put some suggestions. We normally phrase EA Philippines as EA PH and not EAP, but that’s a minor thing. And it’s a community building grant I’m on, not a community grant.
Could I ask the Hispanic EA community to even link to your notes in the YouTube video’s description? That might help people find it.
Another thing I would have liked for the video was there to be timestamps to certain questions/topics, so people wondering what my answers were can view those. But anyway I think these notes work too.

No problem, thanks for doing the Q&A and for the suggestions! Happy if you want to share it with the Hispanic EA community
