Does anyone have a list of counterfactual success stories that have arisen directly from EA-related work? I can think of a couple (GiveWell donation statistics seem an obvious answer) but I would love a list or some examples. I want to use this for:
- General conversations about EA in day-to-day life. I often hear the response that EA seems too philosophical; citing examples of counterfactual goods seems like a good way to mitigate this narrative, though I would welcome any suggestions of other techniques here.
- Community building (I run my student group in St Andrews). I think it would be useful to have some tangible examples I can give in an introduction talk and conversations within fellowships.
- My own curiosity and general knowledge!
I really appreciate any help provided!
I guess you already know this: EAF's ballot initiative doubled Zurich's development aid.
