EA handbook translator here. Given that Toby Ord’s “The Moral Imperative toward Cost-Effectiveness in Global Health” is already part of chapter 2, “Differences in impact,” I don’t think it makes sense to also include it in this page.

Shouldn’t this post be called “More to explore on ‘Smarter than us’” to be consistent with the chapter’s title?
Sounds like very interesting work! As a Frenchman, it’s encouraging to see this uptake in another “latin” European country. I think this analytic/critical thinking culture is also underdeveloped in France. I’m curious: in your project, do you make connections to the long tradition of (mostly Continental?) philosophical work in Italy? Have you encountered any resistance to the typically anglo-saxon “vibe” of these ideas? In France, it’s not uncommon to dismiss some intellectual/political ideas (e.g., intersectionality) as “imported from America” and therefore irrelevant.
