If a first-time applicant has previously attempted independent projects that didn’t quite take off, but is currently working on one that is still in its early stages, would you advise them to apply now or wait until the project is more developed before applying to stand a better chance?

Hi Joey! I have a question on cause plurality and prioritization. In the Clearer Thinking podcast Ep 154, you highlighted your skepticism on the expected value theory and described is “one tool of many” with a preference for a convergence of many models.
As a decision maker, if EV strongly points to one cause but other frameworks don’t converge, would you rather commit to the EV cause given its potential impact or to diversify across causes at the risk of diluting that impact?
Great opportunity here!
Thanks Sofia. New to the EA space but this is profound. I’ll try it
Loved this so much. I wonder which of the two makes it easier? the mid-career safety net and the power of skill transfer, or the early-career freedom to learn and the freshness of starting with “new-book” eyes?
