I’m Vladimir − 25 years old, originally from Russia and currently living in Dublin. I studied mathematics, but life took me into product management in IT, where I work today.
The reason for me to be here is that I am at this stage in life and career when meaning in everything I do starts to take priority more and more. I have also recently become quite interested in decision-making and how we can use it for the greater good. I think this partially started in around 2023 with the rapid progress in AI chatbots, making the clear thinking feel much more immediate and personal. I truly believe that decision-making as a skill is crucial for effective altruism.
As part of that, I started working on a small passion project: a non-profit website that teaches people about cognitive biases in an interactive way. It’s still in its early stages, and I’m figuring a lot out as I go, but I’d love any thoughts if you ever take a look (I hope it is okay to put it here, but please let me know if it’s not).
I’m excited to be here; this community feels like one of the rare places on the internet where people are open-minded and focused on the improvement of humanity. I also hope to join in some of the AI discussions—I find myself both fascinated by where things are going and deeply uncertain about how to navigate it all.
Thanks for reading and looking forward to learning from all of you.
Hey Vladimir! The website looks really cool—congrats! Let me know if you have any questions about EA or the Forum! Cheers, Toby (Content Strategist for the EA Forum)
This website is amazing! Not sure how long you’ve been a product manager (given you’re only 25) but it’s beautifully done. I think this quality of design is what EA has been missing a little in effectively communicating it’s key concepts and methods to the world. I would encourage you to reach out to any design groups or connect with larger organizations. I don’t have any direct contacts but groups like User-friendly or And-Now (design firms), CEA (who runs the primary effectivealtruism.org informational site) and professional groups at EA Globals would be a good start.
