Vote power should scale with karma

Assuming at least half of the upvote value of high-karma posts-comments is from people with base upvote value.itd be interesting to check how that is actually distributed

Minor nitpick

Option 1: The EA movement instantly grows to include 1000 new highly-engaged, aligned EAs.

Option 2: X people hear about EA in a relatively high-fidelity way (e.g., through a long-form journalistic article).

...

Responses here also reflected wide variation, spanning several orders of magnitude. The median value was 1 million, implying that gaining 1 highly engaged EA was rated roughly 10,000 times more valuable than introducing one person to EA in a relatively high fidelity way.

Should this be 1,000 times instead? (This also appears at the summary of key results as 10,000)

@Yonatan Cale  :) 

I don't think that expanding compassion to animals leads to reduced compassion for aunts and other humans. It could make one's choices benefit humaunts less, but that's arguably desirable.

I do agree that when we find ourselves dispassionate or hateful towards others that's a sign that we may have stepped wrong at some point in our journey to do the most good

I'm really interested in the answer to this question and happy to say that publicly

I find it's good enough for me, but I haven't deeply engaged with really complicated texts

Interesting idea! Seems like locusts are halal (same as in Judaism), but that may not be relevant.

Great idea! 

If it'd be helpful, I ran a 4 session workshop for people in my local community on "EA research methods": https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VQfVbZSZow_Oq24cnRQpFzykHzIdcG8Jmjx6ctRFxRg/edit#heading=h.e6lzi7r45ez
