I honestly don’t see why. I think I’m much below 130 and still, 80k advised me. The texts they write about why AI might literally kill all of us and what I could do to prevent are not only relevant for oxford graduates but also for me who just attended an average German University. I think everyone can contribute to the world’s most pressing problems. What’s needed is not intelligence but ambition and open-mindedness. EA is not just math geniuses devising abstract problems it’s hundreds of people running the everyday work of organizations, coming up with new approaches to community building, becoming politically active to promote animal welfare, or earning money to donate to the most important causes. None of these are only possible with an above-average IQ.
