I’m currently a co-director at EA Netherlands (with Marieke de Visscher). We’re working to build and strengthen the EA community here.
Before this, I worked as a consultant on urban socioeconomic development projects and programmes funded by the EU. Before that, I studied liberal arts (in the UK) and then philosophy (in the Netherlands).
Hit me up if you wanna find out about the Dutch EA community! :)
I’m surprised by the disagree votes. Is this because people think I’m saying, ‘in the case of whether it is ever OK to take a harmful job in order to do more good, one ought not to say what one truly believes’?
To clarify, that’s not what I’m trying to say. I’m saying we should have nuanced thoughts about whether it is ever OK to take a harmful job in order to do more good, and we should make sure we’re expressing those thoughts in a nuanced fashion (similar to the 80k article I linked). If you disagree with this I’d be very interested in hearing your reasoning!
