  I guess I’ll start.

  1) I managed the Achievements Open Thread project, all the way from initiation to discussion to posting here as the first experiment, and am willing to take any flak that comes from doing it :-)

  2) I provided advice to GiveDirectly on making a hire for their new VP of Marketing.

  3) I collaborated with Jon Behar from The Life You Can Save to plan out the framework of a content marketing campaign promoting effective giving to a secular and skeptic audience.

  4) I published a widely-read article in The Huffington Post promoting effective giving and especially GiveDirectly.

  Those are the EA-themed accomplishments in the past month of which I am most proud.

  FYI, we decided to distance InIn publicly from the EA movement for the foreseeable future.

  We will only reference effective giving and individual orgs that are interested in being promoted, as evidenced by being interested in providing InIn with stats for how many people we are sending to their websites, and similar forms of collaboration (yes, I’m comfortable using the term collaboration for this form of activity). Since GWWC/​CEA seem not interested, we will not mention them in our future content.

  Our work of course will continue to be motivated by EA concerns for doing the best things possible to improve the world in a cost-effective way, but we’ll shift our focus from explicitly EA-themed activities to our other area of work—spreading rational thinking and decision-making to reduce existential risk, address fundamental societal problems, and decrease individual suffering. Still, we’ll also continue to engage in collaborations and activities that have proved especially beneficial within the EA-related sphere, such as doing outreach to secular folks and spreading Giving Games, yet that will be a smaller aspect of our activities than in the past.
