Re: Annex 3 - For now, we tend to delegate this to local groups, but we would be keen to experiment more on the national level. We just haven't yet, unfortunately. Some local groups are good at this, with a Luma calendar full of events that they share regularly on some group chats. Curious to see if that succeeds.

Re: links - Oh no! They are links to headings of the doc, but as I added them while writing the post, it points to the headings in the draft, funnily enough... I'll try to fix that soon.
EDIT: links should be fixed now.

I'm curious if you fed Claude the variables or if it fetched them itself? In the latter case, there's a risk of having the wrong values, isn't there?

Otherwise, really interesting project. Curious of the insights to take out of this, esp. for me the fact that Switzerland comes up first. Also surprising that Germany's not on the list, maybe?

Thanks!

Thank you so, so much, Elliot, for writing this and being so caring and kind. This is so cleverly worded and beautifully read, we need more of this.

But it's usually bad, isn't it? I mean Google Translate is not my go-to translator... Or am I missing something?

Thansk for writing this! This is a very useful framework to think about growth in an org. I'd say it's also relevant for meta-EA regional orgs (MEAROs)?

I read this a while ago, and the part about being an end in ourselves really stuck. I'm now saying it to others. Thanks for writing this.

As a full-time community builder myself, I often go into phases of asking myself why I give so much when I could be more selfish, and this part of the post really helped crystallize how I felt - though I'm not saying people are ungrateful, that is as far away as describing my experience with people in EA communities as one can get!

Thank you for sharing this!

I'm a little bit surprised the other comments only focus on the pension thing, even though it's the title.

I enjoyed how you unravel the chronology of your thoughts on existential risk from AI. It shows the complexity of this topic and the challenging journey towards developing an opinion and structuring ideas about it. That's the kind of story that helps me deal with my own confusion, as I can see the struggle of others too.

You're probably right. It still feels like many other languages are using this word in its original meaning, so even if the English language has a different definition, bringing some "utopian" concepts to a global community might be misunderstood.

Why does nobody use the term "eutopia"? From Greek etymology, dystopia means "bad place", and utopia means... "non-place" - like an unachievable place, while eutopia means "lucky place". Shouldn't we use a word pointing toward something that we can hope for?

Wikipedia mentions that the fact that both utopia and eutopia are pronounced identically might have given rise to a change of meaning. But I think the difference in meaning is important - should we deliberately use - and thus mispronounce - eutopia /ɘːˈtoʊpiə/?
