What movements does EA have the strongest synergies with?

Soccer, because there has been a recent trend of professional soccer players giving up portions of their salary to charity. Usually they give it to things like soccer opportunities in the developing world.

Context: I asked a more narrow version of this question on LW about the connection between EA and the rationality movement.

Thanks for specifying how you want answers delivered! This isn't about any one movement (it's a meta-answer), but I'll post it here because I think it points to action that you or someone else could take to resolve the question.

Rather than trying to think of all the movements/groups I can and filtering by "seems synergistic", I'll try to break this question down.

Any group with which we share some common trait might have synergy; the number of common traits should correlate with the level of synergy.

Some traits of EA:

• Cares about charity
• Cares about career choice
• Cares about using evidence
• Cares about maximizing output/ being efficient
• Cares about certain "neglected" groups: The global poor, farm/wild animals, people in the future
• Cosmopolitan, with a focus on the entire world/"grand strategy"
• Political lean toward economic conservatism and social liberalism

Charities themselves may not be huge fans of us if they see us as critical/rivals, but people trying to donate are synergistic with us. Which groups of people spend a lot of time trying to donate? People with a lot of money, people planning their legacies, people who work as charitable consultants, etc.

You can do the same thing for each list item, and try to notice which groups fall into multiple categories or have "anti-categories" they expressly don't fit:

• Many Buddhists care about the global poor, cosmopolitanism, and charity.
• Libertarians like efficiency, economic conservatism, and social liberalism.
• College students like social liberalism, career choice, and cosmopolitanism (but aren't big on economic conservatism). And so on.

If you do wind up building a list in this way, you should share it on the Forum more generally! I've wanted a resource like this for a while but haven't had time to build it carefully.

Most of the things that come to mind are not strictly movements (I guess I wouldn't really describe poker players that way either), so I'm not sure if this is helpful, but there are the obvious connections between EA and mathematics, philosophy, computer science, to a lesser degree the rest of academia and science, as well as finance.
