'Nor is there any conflict between the states of individuality and collective. Indeed, where the personal is shared and reciprocal, personal creativity, imagination and exploration are routinely encouraged and fostered.' Could you please elaborate on this?

In 2015 you (Benjamin) wrote a post which, if I'm reading it right, aspires to answer the same question, but is in very direct contradiction with the conclusions of your (Katherine's) post regarding which causes are relatively talent constrained. I would be interested in hearing about the sources of this disagreement from both of you (Assuming it is a disagreement, and not just the fact that time has passed and things have changed, or an issue of metrics or semantics) here is the relevant excerpt https://80000hours.org/2015/11/why-you-should-focus-more-on-talent-gaps-not-funding-gaps/ It sounds like both of you (Katherine and Benjamin) agree that AI is "talent constrained". Pretty straightforward, it's hard to find sufficiently talented people with the specialized skills necessary. It sounds like the two of you diverge on global poverty, for reasons that make sense to me. Katherine's analysis, as I understand it, is straightforwardly looking at what Givewell says the current global poverty funding gap is...which means that impact via talent basically relies on doing more good with the existing money, performing better than what is currently out there. (And how was your talent gap estimated? Is it just a counting up of the number of currently hiring open positions on the EA job board?) Benjamin's analysis, as I understand it, is that EA's growing financial influence means that more money is going to come in pretty soon, and also that effective altruists are pretty good at redirecting outside funds to their causes (so, if you build good talent infrastructure and rigorously demonstrate impact and a funding gap, funding will come) Is this a correct summary of your respective arguments? I understand how two people might come to different conclusions here, given the differing methods of estimating and depending on what they thought about EA's ability to increase funding over time and close well demonstrated funding gaps. (As an aside, Benjamin's post and accompany
