Hello! I'm Toby. I'm Content Strategist at CEA. I work with the Online Team to make sure the Forum is a great place to discuss doing the most good we can. You'll see me posting a lot, authoring the EA Newsletter and curating Forum Digests, making moderator comments and decisions, and more.Â
Before working at CEA, I studied Philosophy at the University of Warwick, and worked for a couple of years on a range of writing and editing projects within the EA space. Recently I helped run the Amplify Creative Grants program, to encourage more impactful podcasting and YouTube projects. You can find a bit of my own creative output on my blog, and my podcast feed.

Love this as a lock-in diagram.Â
Years ago when I was working with Richard Fisher on The Long View, we were trying to come up with a good extended metaphor for lock-in. I was pretty stuck on the idea of a tilt-maze (which is intuitive but unfortunately the term means little to people reading). 
The problem with the tilt maze is that it is binary - you are either totally free to move the ball wherever, or you are trapped in a hole. Your diagram works much better - it intuitively gives you the idea of more and less sticky troughs. You could also represent a more binary lock in with a deeper valley.Â
The donation election 'I voted' flair (pictured below) was broken until last night. If you vote again it should be added to your account!Â
(This is also a reminder that you can change your vote as many times as you like, and the deadline is Sunday)
