Have you considered the expected value (EV) calculations for the Effective Ventures (EV) effective ventures (EVs)? I would like to see the CEA EV EV EV calculations for the CEA's CEA.

I'd love to see the results of a good experiment in in the member-first approach.

I'm leaning more towards the cause-first approach, but possibly for the wrong reasons. It's easier to measure, it's impact is easier to communicate and understand, the funnel feels shorter and more straight-forward, the activities and tools to achieve impact are there for me to use, I don't need to invent anything from skratch. This all might be a streetlight fallacy.

The strongest for the member-first approach for me would be:

• After your members take the job in a high-impact

Thanks for the nice words!

Regarding the "active members" count, here are the stats:

• That year, around 17 new people were added to the Slack from the Intro Course. Possibly 5-10 more.
• Out of them, around 13 were engaged in activities after that
• That means at least 13 other people had to become became less active during that time (not unreasonable)

So to increase activity on Slack, we'd either have to prevent people leaving or add people to Slack. We could:

• assign each currently active person a mentor to keep them engaged
• have a more obvious process of ch

Calling all Lithuanians!

I'm on the lookout for people who are interested in effective altruism / rationality and living in Lithuania.  

If you happen to know anyone like that, let me know, so I could invite them to apply to the upcoming EAGxNordics conference.

For context, I am on the organising team for EAGx Nordics and one of our goals is to grow the smaller EA communities in the region. Most notably Lithuania, which is the largest country in the Baltics, but has the smallest EA presence. My hope is that the conference will help connect existing EA-aligned individuals living in Lithuania, who might not know each other.

Is there  a more up to date version of this somewhere?

That's a good point. I hadn't considered signalling benefits.

I am also curious to understand why you think that earning to give is more impactful than 98%+ of jobs. Also, did you mean 98% of EA-aligned jobs or all jobs?

Thanks for the answer.

Just to make sure I understand #1.

You're saying that if I donated 1000€ to GiveWell right now, my donation would be expected to have 10 times as much impact as a donation to GiveDirectly? However, in the coming years that might change to 5x or 2x?
