I thought this talk was brilliant, not least in the specific terms you mentioned. I often talk to my EA friends about “counterfactual impact”, leverage, and “comparative advantage” and often have a hard time switching gears to talk to non-EAs, but I can imagine this slight shift in terminology to “cause-and-effect evidence”, leverage, and “personal advantage” to hit close to the core ideas and sound much friendlier. Most of the talk was immediately actionable as well. Thank you for making it.

Thanks Thomas. Just sent you a message.
