Thank you for your article, very interesting!
I have 2 questions:
(But first I would like to point out that I read your article more than 2 weeks ago so I probably forgot some information that might be relevant to my 2 questions)
1) Why do you think the MAP model and the description of the different activist profiles by B. Moyer are accurate enough to be relevant?
I have not done much research on the MAP model, but at first glance, it seems to be a rather old and ambitious work in regarding the available data and the number of variables.
2) You talk about non-violent protest, you don’t talk about violent protest. Why ? (is it because there is not enough data?)
And do you have a precise vision on what delimits non-violence from violence?
What is your general advice for people with no formal education or qualifications?
It seems to me that most of the career advice, on 80,000h for example, concerns people with a university education or with good financial capital, because they are obviously over-represented in this field. But what advice can you give to ‘blue-collar’ people who would like to have a useful career in line with EA ideas?
As the question is broad and impersonal, I don’t know if you have any relevant answers to give.
