Appreciate you sharing why you have a negative impression of the Effective Altruism movement and arenât interested in joining an EA org; you might be getting downvoted under the âclear, on-topic, and kindâ comment guideline, but Iâm not sure. In my own experience, there sure are lots of frustrating Silicon Valley memes that are overly dismissive of social factors (or of sexism and racism) out in the world, but they arenât dominant among people actually doing direct EA-affiliated work. As a few recent examples that demonstrate a sensitivity to the importance of social factors, I enjoyed this 80,000 Hours Podcast with Leah GarcĂŠs on strategic and empathetic communication for animal advocacy and this post on surprising things learned from a year of working on policy to eliminate lead exposure in Malawi, Bostwana, Madagascar and Zimbabwe.
