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
Hi Ryan, I think your comment is useful but incorrect as it's written. Your comment implies that the intelligence or rationality of athletes is a major factor in whether this organisation will be successful. I've seen vaguely EA-related outreach to founders, poker players, and people who inherit loads of money. The thing these groups have in common are that they've got lots of money to donate that they got all at once, which athletes also have. I don't think we should get hung up on "intelligence", rationality or ability to think in bets.
