I would just like to say publicly how excited I am about the Founding to Give program and team (Trish & Jacintha) and about how thoughtfully you're exploring different ways to create a better world through for-profits. I was really excited about the "create BIG company & donate % of big exit" initial plan and I am really excited about the current research and cheap experimentation you're doing into other ways to do it.

Looking forward to hopefully seeing us EAs engage more with the for-profit space for impact and reading more thoughts / ideas by other folks!

Short and sweet and to the point. I mostly agree - super specific philosophy lingo best belongs in philosophy and not when we're trying to get stuff done. 

Very cool, looking forward to both of these, really exciting first guests! I'd love to know whether Peter's engagement with Buddhism has changed his mind on anything - especially but not only on the big question around mindfulness and meditation for and its benefits for the meditator vs external work for others (e.g. campaigning for animals) as they often seem in tension / conflict for time and resources and pursuing a deeper path of enlightenment may take away much of the spirit and fire for changing the world in a more consequentialist sense. It's talked about a bit in "The Buddhist and the Ethicist" but not as head-on as I was hoping

I loved TEAMWORK in its early days and I've been visiting it whenever I am in Berlin and highly recommend it - it's a great community space!

I don't know what to say, this is so incredibly sad. The times I ran the volunteer moderation team with her at an early EAGxVirtual were a great experience - she was so uplifting, friendly, supportive, and fun to work with. I thought I saw a post of hers a couple of weeks ago that she was going to start an internship in government (I could be wrong about this) and I was so glad to see that. I think I may also have seen a post in which she mentioned struggling with her mental health (I could also be wrong about this, I can't find any of this now) and I can't believe I didn't reach out, although it may not have made a difference. I am devastated and so, so sorry. All my love to her close friends and family, and so much sadness for the wonderful person she was that had to suffer so much.

This is so exciting to see, I can't wait to hear about how it went!

+1, I think that'd be at the top of my requests! This looks great though, happy to see this new board :-)

Thanks a lot for writing this up, Sam! Interesting data point on what an entry-level job in aid policy grantmaking can look like.

The AIM burgundy red is basically the same as the old CE red for easier re-identification; the other colours we slowly added on last year and this year and what can I say, we do like us some magical, natural, but clearly distinct colours for our different programs :)
