Thanks for all your work on this, itās really great to see it finally happening! Would love it if the survey can identify and compare āsocial movementā subgroups such as EA, Social justice, socialism, animal welfare etc. Could be assessed in terms of activism/āparticipation in the subgroups and or awareness/āattitude towards them.
This would be helpful in several ways. As an example, I think that it will be very helpful to better understand the relative differences in values and receptiveness to messages etc that exist between such groups and how this changes over time.
It could be interesting to explore how it changes with such groups when new books and articles are widely publicized etc.
From a movement building and impact perspective, it seems important to really understand our adjacent social movements. Where are the overlaps and disconnects in shared values? What are each groups major gripes/āmisconceptions etc.
Iād welcome any attempt to eventually grow this service to the point where it will allow EA orgs and researchers to easily and affordably survey large samples of key audiences (e.g., AI professionals, policy makers etc). I think that the absence of this is an upstream barrier to lots of important research and message testing.

Agreed, I think āEAs surveying and engaging with the general public on issues we care aboutā is still relatively neglected.
