A case for ”quantifiable altruism” as a better name than “effective altruism” in retrospect: https://twitter.com/esyudkowsky/status/1616187567841632259?s=46&t=e0dDZKUej1AFmYDbprPcSQ by Yudkowsky.
TBH I see nothing wrong with this, as in it makes sense to me. Happy to hear more thoughts.
This seems like an interesting project!
I can’t think of anyone better suited to lead this transition than Ben. Really excited about this. And welcome the change of tone!

Against Dogma
Is EA is becoming too dogmatic?
This seems quite hand-wavy and I’m skeptical of it. Could you give an example where “we” have ignored the experts? And when you say experts, you probably refer to expert reasoning or scientific consensus and not appeals to authority.
Your statement gained a lot of upvotes but “EA ignores expoerts” just fits the prevailing narrative too well but I haven’t seen any examples of it. Happy to update if I find one.
