Just someone tryna do good. What that means, remains more of a question than an answer - but an action nonetheless.

Heya, my local EA group will organise a discussion event on this topic. Now that we're half a year on, I would love to know what you think should change, how EA-aligned orgs should act, and if their response so far has been sufficient.

I have a hard time understanding why it WOULDN'T work elsewhere, tbh. Have not read about convincing reasons or perspectives as to why the model wouldn't function well across the world. Have you?

Ever considered updating this? I think EAs everywhere should consider these days more!

Loving this poetic reply! Fundamentally, yes, suffering will never end. And the amount of effort a person can put into countering it, is rather limited, so one may as well try to enjoy oneself. However, I think I was looking for an interpretation more close to Conor Barnes' below.

Except for service clubs and humanist societies, I am not sure if I'd immediately agree. And even those groups may be less prone to sympathy towards EA ideas. Where or how did you gain your observations?
