Hey! I'm Edo, married + 2 cats, I live in Tel-Aviv, Israel, and I feel weird writing about myself so I go meta.

I'm a mathematician, I love solving problems and helping people. My LinkedIn profile has some more stuff.

I'm a forum moderator, which mostly means that I care about this forum and about you! So let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

I'm currently working full-time at EA Israel, doing independent research and project management. Currently mostly working on evaluating the impact of for-profit tech companies, but I have many projects and this changes rapidly.

I'm curious about how representative the EA forum is to the EA community, particularly in regards to worldview. One thing you could try is to take the EA community surveys done by RP, and estimate how a random representative of "the forum" would answer, where the random representative might be a random user or a random comment/post weighted by karma or amount of text

One awesome tool by Welfare Footprint Institute from last year is a Chat-GPT agent made for quantifying animal suffering using their framework

Alternatively, people find engaging with bugs "yucky" so they prefer having an excuse not to step on a spider :\

Perhaps just introduce the idea of quantifying welfare? Or prioritization between programs in the context of NGOs and gov programs?

Hey Maria! In case you aren't aware of them and their work, you might be interested in reaching out / following @Gidi Kadosh (VIVID), @spencerg (Spencer Greenberg of Clearer Thinking), @Inga (Inga Grossman of Rethink Wellbeing), and probably others I'm blanking out on 😊

Also, I'm curious about what you mean by "Foundations of Protection"?

Thanks! This really clarifies the situation for me.
