This is REALLY useful info, thank you!

Interestingly, having come across this a couple of years into learning about EA and interacting with people interested in EA, I think my "proficiency" in some of these skills has increased. I expect that this is because I now have many friends and co-workers who are good at a lot of the things listed above. So it now seems "dumb" for me to not be agentic or to not have reasoning transparency.

I like this way of thinking about EA because I see it more like a process than an ideology. When I'm trying to explain to friends and acquaintances, I tend to say "I am interested in effective altruism," and talk about what trying to make decisions based on evidence and reason and expected positive impact could look like.
