Hi — will any aggregate results at all from this survey be made public? I searched online for "effective altruism survey 2020" and such, and haven't found anything other than calls to take the survey. I haven't been able to find anything on the Rethink Priorities website either, except for a note on their Ongoing Projects that they're continuing to run and publish results of the survey. Thanks :-)

Thanks for your question. The 2020 posts have already started coming out. You can see the first two here and here. And you can also find them on our website here. All the posts will also be under the Effective Altruism Survey tag.

Great work. I won't repeat the praises others have already given though, and go straight to my comments :-)

One question i'd like to see more explicitly addressed in such surveys is, How counterfactual has the EA movement actually been?

I've only skimmed through the report, but it didn't seem like you do much to address this question. I'm much less concerned about the $333 median donation than i am about the $6.8 million total donations. That's about 20% of what GiveWell attributed directly to their research in 2014 [http://blog.givewell.org/2015/04/13/givew... (read more)
