TLDR: Take the population ethics quiz here: https://mdickens.me/pop-ethics/
Population ethics is an oft-overlooked subfield within ethics. Many people hold views that they don't realize contradict each other, or that have strange implications that they wouldn't endorse if they thought about it more.
Not just that—population ethics is a BIG DEAL. A lot of ethical decisions hinge on how you think about changes in future populations....
My personal opinion: these kind of important, time-sensitive, and relatively content-free fundraising announcements should be kept to EA Facebook groups.
I agree. I won't ban content like this from the Forum, but I do recommend that people share it on platforms like Facebook that people tend to check more frequently, and which more easily "hide" content that is no longer relevant.Â
In most cases, I expect to keep short-term fundraisers in the "Personal Blog" category (with some exceptions for large community-wide activities like EA Giving Tuesday, or for posts that also include substantive content about a cause area).
Sounds good, makes sense, Peter and Aaron.
