Promising results! I forwarded it to psychedelics researcher who could maybe help with advocacy.

If you want to support this, consider taking a moment to consider whether you, or anyone you know, might be able to contribute. The post says donors, entrepreneurs and advocates are most needed. 

Maybe a video of patients sharing their experience might also help make this cause more appealing to a wider range of donors and advocates. 

Anecdotally, I heard similar stories from DMT (consumed in the form of Ayahuasca specifically), but only from multiple high dosages over the course of several days. 

Curious if there's any evidence that vaping a micro dosage is also riskier than people might think. Most psychedelics seem very low risk on micro dosage level, I'd guess DMT is similar? 

Not recommending anyone should take DMT, obviously, I hope you'll find a non-hallucinogenic, safe and legal version. 

invoke our common humanity, instead of our disparate diets

I really like this approach. I could see a lot of omnivores get behind "demanding better standards" too, and happily spend a (tiny) bit more money on groceries, knowing that this significantly increases welfare. 

TLDR: Reach more people by sharing on TED's YouTube channel? 

Great work, much appreciated! 

Side note: Looks like TED did not (yet?) share your talk on their YouTube channel as well, although the talk took place in April already. Not sure why, maybe it's a business decision, maybe they share only a fraction of TED talks on their YouTube, maybe it's something else. 

For reach, it seems pretty important to share it on YouTube as well? Does anyone have insights in TED's YouTube channel policy, and ideas whether we can do anything to get it shared there? 

Until then, some random YouTuber with <100 followers uploaded it here: 

Related question: How often do you run a public open hiring round and end up hiring someone already on your radar, who would have been part of your closed hiring round as well? 

Not saying this is always bad, the public hiring round might still have been worthwhile in expectation, I'm just curious how often these things happen. Probably various a lot between roles & orgs. 

I also wonder whether we could do some kind of standardized test once a year on things that EA orgs uniquely care about, like reasoning transparency or understanding of EA, and then various EA orgs could use that for their hiring. 

If requires some initial coordination & investment, but after that it could save both orgs and applicants quite some time and money. 

Strongly upvoted, thanks!  

I've heard this many times, and I feel like some orgs might indeed overdo it with work tests. I'd be curious how much more info recruiters get from 4-8h work test, compared to 1-2h + a (short) interview, and maybe allowing people to submit an existing work sample or so. 

With that many views (800k as of now), it might be worth looking into starting non-English sister channels as well. 

Youtube science channel Kurzgesagt, for example, has a very large German and Spanish channel as well (2m subscribers each, ~10% of the 24m of the English channel). We (aisafety.berlin) would be happy to help with German, if you ever want to prioritize that, though Spanish, Hindi, and maybe Mandarin seem more important. 

>800k views as of now (4 days in), very impressive!
