I am really grateful for your courage, and for making it easier for others to speak up about the mistakes senior people in our community are making. I think the world would benefit a ton from more courage from the EA community for many reasons. Thank you for setting such a positive example. 

The argument sure is a string :P

Will's list from his recent post has good candidates too: 

  • AI character[5]
  • AI welfare / digital minds
  • the economic and political rights of AIs
  • AI-driven persuasion and epistemic disruption
  • AI for better reasoning, decision-making and coordination
  • the risk of (AI-enabled) human coups
  • democracy preservation
  • gradual disempowerment
  • biorisk
  • space governance
  • s-risks
  • macrostrategy
  • meta

Taking uni organizing really seriously was upstream of MATS, EA Courses/Virtual Programs, and BlueDot (shoutout to Dewi) getting started among other things. IMO this work is extremely valuable and heavily under-prioritized in the community compared to research. Group organizing can be quite helpful for training communications skills, entrepreneurship, agency, grit, improved intuitions about theories of change, management, networking/providing value to other people, general organization/ability to get things done, and many other flexible skills that from personal experience can significantly increase your impact.
