Why is there no “Science” as default option under “Do you watch YouTube videos on any of these broad topics?”?
Good catch! This series used to have a registration form, but this event is open. “Enable RSVPs” is not checked, that’s why you can’t “join” here on the forum.
Do the rules of P4A allow GiveWell? I remember it being unclear last year whether funds / regrantors were eligible.
Thanks for sharing!
Are the numbers comparable to GiveWell, or is one of them more conservative? One data point could be Malaria. Is the Benefit-to-cost ratio GiveWell calculates for e.g. AMF around 48 as well?
Malaria
Paper: Benefits and Costs of Scaling up Coverage and Use of Insecticide Treated Nets.
Benefit-to-cost ratio: 48.
Investment:
>Scale up coverage of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets coverage to 10 percentage points above the 2019 level. Use of chlorfenapir to offset insecticide resistance and social and behavioral change communication to increase the usage including hang-up campaigns.
I assume and (ChatGPT agrees) that it’s the tedious, unglamorous, and labor-intensive work. It probably comes from the Germany “schleppen” which is “heavy lifting”.
I’d also like to point out that the Effektiv Spenden co-working office (TEAMWORK) is a place where many EAs work and is available for EA meetups and events outside of office hours. The impact of this is difficult to quantify, but potentially significant and not accounted for when looking at donations alone.
Is there a way to donate in a tax-deductible way from Germany via Effektiv Spenden? Is that too late to set up?
The next workshop with @Glenn Gregor goes into a wholly different direction: Radically improving mental health through effective emotional work.
Join us on Dec 11 (Mon).
I advise against trying to read 1/day blindly, since there are monsters like A Technical Explanation of Technical Explanation (nearly 17k words), one needs to set aside time for.
The next workshop with @Manuel Allgaier has been scheduled for Nov 27 (Mon): AI Risk Scenario Roleplay (repeat from EAGxBerlin)
I’d love to see you there!
The next workshop with @nina antonyuk has been scheduled for Oct 16 (Mon): Why we’re bad at predicting what will make us happy
I’d love to see you there!
I know I’m late to the party, but thanks for the data!
One question: Why does your number for 2019 so different from 80K’s estimates (https://80000hours.org/2021/08/effective-altruism-allocation-resources-cause-areas/)?
I’ve bothered @GuyP about it and he’s on it!
Quick heads up: Most of the RSVPs are on Meetup.com or LessWrong, so don’t worry about being alone. :)
The next workshop with @Severin has also been scheduled for just a week later (Mo, Sep 18): The Art of Difficult Conversations
The next topic will be Personal Privacy on Sep 12.
@GuyP will teach us about digital privacy.
We’ll go over who should and shouldn’t care for their digital privacy, the value of personal data, its effects on the people around you and what are the lesser-known low-hanging fruits to improve your standing in the digital age.
Speaking from experience, those events go well past 10 pm.
Thank you very much for sharing your insightful and motivating story.
But I’d like to advise to always be wary of survivorship bias. People who burned out are much less likely to write about it than someone who made it.
Parallel to this, I gained the confidence to decline job offers from EA-aligned organisations that I perceived as having less impact, despite their appeal. Some opportunities involved leading teams at EA-aligned startups. However, accepting them would have meant deviating from the top causes on my list. Instead of settling for the next available option, I aimed high, seeking roles that matched exceptionally well with my skills and the cause areas I had on the top of my list.
Hey everyone, Unfortunately the CCCB is not available today, so the workshop is happening at TEAMWORK. Here’s how to get there: https://bit.ly/teamwork-berlin
Sorry for the short notice.
I think it would still make sense to add it because I assume many people (like me) will add it manually anyway, giving you more free-text to analyze. :)
