Great to see this. The 2024 version of this program was excellent – the most challenging ethics/AI/EA-flavoured course I've done.

@Jim Buhler voted 0% agree on the debate statement this week. That looks like the most pessimistic position on the board.

The most pessimistic position on the board is 100% disagree, no? Jim was exactly in the middle (= 0% agree = 0% disagree).

Thank you Alfredo. I think intensity of suffering is what counts the most – more than the total aggregated amount of suffering, or the the number of sufferers – and I think what you're doing with ClusterFree is moving and inspiring.

I'd love to see more projects like this coming out of the EA community for similarly suffering-intensive medical conditions. Let's have ClusterFree for trigeminal neuralgia and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)?

Thanks for all your work Magnus, and wishing you the best beyond CRS.

Reading a (free) book by Magnus Vinding two years ago is what got me into effective altruism

Which book? : )

Thanks for the response Chris

Interesting stuff

Responding to your graph:

• I'm very doubtful that eating vegan is more effortful than eating carnivore
• I'm very doubtful that eating vegan presents the same level of health risk as eating predominantly animal-based, assuming that predominantly animal-based involves meat in every meal and daily consumption of red and/or processed meat

And does "external harm" take into account wild animal welfare beyond climate change, e.g. the impact of rewilding on soil animals given the reduced need for land to support plant-based diets?

I emailed my senators last month and again just now to keep SOB out of the Farm Bill. This piece by Sentient seems like good news (he says cautiously).

Thanks Becca and everyone else for your work on this. Was moved to act again by Dwarkesh's tweet about SOB here.

Really love this Lizka!
