I'm starting an EA aligned non-profit called High Impact Athletes that is aiming to funnel donations from current and retired pro athletes and their fans towards the most effective orgs in the world.
It's still early stage but I wondered if there were any pro or ex athletes hiding in the EA Forum who might be interested in supporting the idea? I believe pro sport is a relatively untapped space for EA and potentially has huge pulling power if the athletes get their fans on board.
Many thanks,
Marcus Daniell
Like Mischa, I think it's easily read as cringy and self congratulatory i.e.
"thanks for trying but I'm not sure you're smart enough to join our cause."
If I'd wanted to make that point, I'd probably have gone for something like:
> (probably as the third point) "however, I think that outreach to sportspeople might be much harder than to poker pros. Some EA ideas are quite counterintuitive, and there's a lot of very similar reasoning in poker/EA, while in general I wouldn't expect pro sports people to be as familiar with things like expected value reasoning".
