How others can help me

I do coaching ;)

I run gift economy for EA's, meaning I won't charge you but give my time freely as a gift. And if you genuinely want to, you can give something back based on what you think it was worth and what you're happy to give.

Feel free to reach out or book a call with me:

I love this! I don't have capacity right now but I'm very interested and want to stay in the loop - how can I best do that?

Running a fundraiser as a University group?

I think it's a great idea!

I hear other commentors' recommendations to focus on pledging, but I don't think they need be counterfactually at odds. I could also see the fundraising lead to people getting more interested in effective giving - and as part of the fundraising you can also highlight both the 10% and trial pledge.

Additonally, there's a post here outlining other low-cost projects people can run for impact:

More stuff about systems change! (complexity theory, phase shift, etc)

Being metacrisis aware and criticizing the whole "single cause area specialization" because many of the big problems are interweaving

I was not aware - thanks for this!

The utility still outweighs my non-existent privacy concerns but it's good to know

Who would you like to see speak at EA Global?

Daniel Schmachtenbeger! He is more EA than most of us. Freakin leagues above most other intellectuals I've encountered anywhere

John Vervaeke, talking about solutions to AI through distributed cognition or modern approaches to wisdom (as an extension of rationality)

Thanks for putting this on the map for me! I hadn't thought of it and now I feel pretty stoked. I imagine I'll for sure do this sometime in the coming years..

Cool article. This is exactly the type of stuff we need - but you're only scraping the surface. I /really/ recommend you look into the work of John Vervaeke. He's a cognitive scientist who is all about wisdom cultivation (among many other things). He talks about wisdom as being a type of meta-rationality in which you know when to apply rationality and avoid being caught in the biases of over rationalizing everything - he speaks for how rationality, emotions, and intuition all have their strengths and shortcoming, and how to have them work together so you can become the best possible agent.

You can fx. start here:
