Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Elements of EA: your (EA) identity can be bespoke, published by Amber Dawn on November 29, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Lots of people have an angsty, complicated, or fraught relationship with the EA community. When I was thinking through some of my own complicated feelings, I realised that there are lots of elements of EA that I strongly believe in, identify with, and am part of… but lots of others that I'm sceptical about, alienated from, or excluded from. This generates a feeling of internal conflict, where EA-identification doesn't always feel right or fitting, but at the same time, something meaningful would clearly be lost if I "left" EA, or completely disavowed the community. I thought my reflections might be helpful to others who have similarly ambivalent feelings. When we're in a community but feel like we're fitting awkwardly, we can either : (1) ignore it ('you can still be EA even if you don't donate/aren't utilitarian/don't prioritise longtermism/etc') (2) try to fix it (change the community to fit us better, 'Doing EA better') (3) leave ('It's ok to leave EA', 'Don't be bycatch'). I want to suggest a fourth option: like the parts you like, dislike the parts you don't, and be aware of it and own it. Not 'keep your identity small' or 'hold your identity lightly' - though those metaphors can be useful too - but make your identity bespoke, a tailor-made, unique garment designed to fit you, and only you, perfectly. By way of epistemic status/caveat, know that I came up with this idea literally this morning, so I'm not yet taking it too seriously. It might help to read this as advice to myself. Elements of EA So, what are some of the threads, colours, cuts, styles that might go in to making your perfect EA-identity coat? I suggest: Philosophy and theory 'Doing the most good possible' is almost tautologically simple as a principle, but obviously, EAs approach this goal using a host of specific philosophical and theoretical ideas and approaches. Some are held by most EAs, others are disputed. Things like heavy-tailed-ness, expected value, longtermism, randomised controlled trials, utilitarianism, population ethics, rationality, Bayes' theorem, and hits-based giving fall into this category (to name just a few). You might agree with some of these but not others; or, you might disagree with most EA philosophy but still have some EA identification because of the other elements. Moral obligation Many EAs hold themselves to moral obligations: for example, to donate a proportion of their income, or to plan their career with positive impact in mind. You can clearly feel these moral obligations without subscribing to the rest of EA: lots of people tithe, and lots of people devote their lives to a cause. Maybe then these principles are enough unique enough to 'count' as central EA elements. But if you add in a commitment to impartiality and effectiveness, I think this does give these moral obligations a distinct flavour; and, importantly, you can aspire to work toward the impartial good, effectively, without agreeing with (most) underlying EA theory, or agreeing with EA cause prioritization. The four central cause areas EAs prioritise lots of causes, but four central areas are often used for the purposes of analysis: global health and development, x-risk prevention, animal welfare, and meta-EA. Obviously, you don't need to subscribe to EA theory or EA's ideas about moral obligation to work on nuclear risk prevention, corporate animal welfare campaigns, or curing malaria. Similarly, you might consider yourself EA, but think that the most pressing cause does not fall into any of these categories, or (more commonly) is de-prioritized within the category (for example, mental health, or wild animal welfare, which are 'niche-r' interests within the wider causes of glo...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Atlantic bluefin tuna are being domesticated: what are the welfare implications?, published by Amber Dawn on November 7, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT) are large, carnivorous ocean fish. They used to be caught relatively rarely, mainly by sports fishermen in North America. However, around the 1950s, Japanese consumers of sushi developed more of a taste for the fish, and a large aquaculture industry developed. Historically, ABFT have been either caught directly from the ocean, or captured while young and fattened in 'ranches'. However, both wild fishing and ranching pose sustainability issues, since they involve taking fish from the wild. Since 2001, there have been a number of EU-funded projects to domesticate bluefin tuna, i.e. to breed them in captivity. This is already done with other types of fish, for example salmon and tilapia, which are raised on fish farms. But it's more difficult with ABFT: they generally don't spawn in captivity, as they require certain specific conditions to spawn. However, scientists have developed methods to make ABFT spawn in captivity, through manipulating light and releasing hormones into the water to stimulate egg production in the fish. This means that it's now possible to farm these fish through 'closed-cycle aquaculture': that is, we can breed them in captivity so that they don't need to be fished from the wild. This has been seen as a win for sustainability. But what about welfare? In this report, I first offer some background on ABFT. I then examine some potential welfare issues in ABFT aquaculture. Main takeaways: Many larvae (young fish) in hatchery projects die. However, this is also true in the wild, and hatcheries may become better at preventing some of these deaths in future, in order to be commercially viable. Many of the conditions in hatcheries might pose welfare issues for ABFT, but more research is needed. The main method of slaughtering large ABFT seems relatively humane; however, the main method of slaughtering smaller ABFT seems more distressing. It's unclear how many ABFT are slaughtered using this crueller method. What are Atlantic bluefin tuna? Atlantic bluefin tuna ( thunnus thynnus ) are native to the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. They are very large fish: fully mature adults are 2-2.5 m (6.6-8.2 ft) long on average and weigh around 225-250 kg (496-551 lb). Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT) have been called 'tigers of the sea' because of their size, grace, and the fact that they're carnivorous predators. In their natural habitat, ABFT can navigate over thousands of miles of ocean. They can dive to depths of 1000m. They eat smaller fish and other sea creatures, generally hunting in schools. Traditional aquaculture of ABFT involves 'ranching'. Juveniles are caught in nets when they gather to spawn, and fed and fattened in large offshore cages. When they are matured, they're slaughtered and sold for high prices. Domesticating ABFT However, ranching is not sustainable, since it involves removing ABFT from the wild. Although the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas ( ICCAT ) regulates tuna fishing by setting quotas, in 2009 their scientific advisors reported that ABFT stocks were probably less than 15% their original size. [1] Therefore, starting in 2001, there have been several EU-funded projects to develop 'closed-cycle' aquaculture for ABFT: the ability to breed them in captivity. DOTT ('Domestication of Thunnus thynnus') was the first such project in 2001-2; this was followed by REPRODOTT (2003-2005), SELFDOTT (2008-2011), and TRANSDOTT (2012-2014). [2] Since then, various entities have set up ABFT hatcheries across Europe, including both public research centres and private companies. More recently, in July 2023, researchers at the Spanish Instit...

Our new Halloween tradition continues as we begin the second season of the Hallow's Eve Tales on Podzilla 1985! All month long, we're once again presenting 100% original horror stories written and voice-acted by PZ85 cast members and friends, with new episodes dropping every Monday(-ish) in October. Season Two is subtitled "Tabula Rasa," and it trades the familiar recording booths of the first season's KPDZ radio station for a government black site follows full of forgotten cold cases that have been locked away with good reason. Two special agents have been tasked with cataloguing, then destroying, the evidence of these secrets, but not without giving them a thorough listen first... In episode one, a Catholic priest is called to a circus in the 1960s to determine whether or not their star attraction is the real deal, but he's no talent scout - he's on a mission from God. Are the rest of the acts just jealous of their leading lady, or is the Roush Circus Royale a breeding ground for something unholy...? "Under the Big Top" was created by Tanner Calvert, written for performance by Hunter Hendricks, and stars (in order of appearance) Seanan Young, Hunter Hendricks, Jesse Kimball, Tanner Calvert, and Amber Dawn.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Juan B. García Martínez on tackling many causes at once and his journey into EA, published by Amber Dawn on June 30, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post is part of a series of 6 interviews. As EAs, we want to use our careers or donations to do the most good - but it's difficult to work out what exactly that looks like for us. I wanted to interview effective altruists working in different fields and on different causes and ask them how they chose their cause area, and how they relate to effective altruism and doing good more generally. During the Prague Fall Season residency, I interviewed six EAs in Prague about what they are doing and why they are doing it. I'm grateful to my interviewees for giving their time, and to the organisers of PFS for supporting my visit. Juan B. García Martínez was born in La Mancha, Spain, and studied Chemical Engineering in Madrid (BA) and the Netherlands (MA). Looking for neglected opportunities in climate change, he wrote his Bachelor's thesis on solar silicon and his Master's thesis on CO2 capture. During this time, he also became deeply concerned with farmed animal suffering and global catastrophic risks. He is now Research Manager at ALLFED. In his current work, he assesses whether and how we might use various technologies to produce food that is resilient to global catastrophes, for example fermentation technology, single cell proteins from CO₂ or natural gas, sugars from plant fiber or CO₂, fats from microorganisms or hydrocarbons, microbial electrosynthesis, and non-biological synthesis of food from CO₂ or hydrocarbons. He hopes that this work will help to mitigate the effects of global catastrophic risks, but also reduce our dependence on factory farming, thus reducing animal suffering and carbon emissions. On producing food without sunlight Amber: What are you currently working on at ALLFED? Juan: My research has been focused on non-agricultural, independent, industrial food production. We're looking at how we could produce food without requiring any sunlight at all, to complement methods that use sunlight more efficiently. Specifically, I've been studying industrial factories, chemical processing, food production, and a lot of biotech ingredients and alternative protein stuff. I'm also doing some more general projects, like looking into technology readiness more broadly. Which of these things are more or less ready to go than the others? Amber: Which things are the most ready-to-go? Juan: Obviously agriculture, that's pretty straightforward, though crop relocation would be needed to maintain yields. For more technology-based stuff, I research methane single cell proteins, which they're already making at the industrial scale. Also lignocellulosic sugar, which is converting trees and leaves into sugars — that's been done before at some scale. Amber: How long have you been working at ALLFED? Juan: I started there as a research volunteer at the end of 2019. I really liked the type of research that they were doing: it was similar to what I'd been doing at university, with my Master's. So I started volunteering there while I was finishing my Master's thesis on atmospheric CO2 capture, because I was getting a little tired of that. I did that for four months. I spent a lot of time working on ALLFED projects. As soon as I presented my thesis, they hired me and I worked as a research associate for 2 years. Then they hired me as a coordinator, where I'm still doing the same research stuff, but with other responsibilities: dealing with volunteers and interns, deciding where to put them, ensuring good communication between the research team and the rest of the people or the organisation—doing a little bit of everything. Now I'm working as research manager, acting as deputy to Dr Denkenberger. On planning his career using EA pri...

I went to EAG London this weekend. I had some interesting chats, wrote some cryptic squiggles in my notebook (“Clockify” “the Easterlin paradox”, “functionalist eudaimonic theories”), and gave and received some hopefully-useful advice. Overall, the conference was fun and worthwhile for me. But at times, I also found the conference emotionally difficult. I think this is pretty common. After last year's EAG, Alastair Fraser-Urquhart wrote about how he burnt out at the conference and had to miss a retreat starting the next day. The post was popular, and many said they'd had similar experiences. The standard euphemism for this facet of EA conferences is ‘intense' or ‘tiring', but I suspect these adjectives are often a more socially-acceptable way of saying ‘I feel low/anxious/exhausted and want to curl up in a foetal position in a darkened room'. I want to write this post to: balance out the ‘woo EAG lfg!' hype, and help people who found it a bad or ambivalent experience to feel less alonedig into to why EAGs can be difficult: this might help attendees have better experiences themselves, and also create an environment where others are more likely to have good experienceshelp people who mostly enjoy EAGs understand what their more neurotic or introverted friends are going through.--- First published: May 22nd, 2023 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/mHk9h3RxvuGmTThaS/if-you-find-ea-conferences-emotionally-difficult-you-re-not --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Some of these I've experienced personally, others are based on comments I've heard, and others are plausible educated guesses. It's easy to compare oneself (negatively) to others EA conferences are attended by a bunch of “impressive” people: big-name EAs like Will MacAskill and Toby Ord, entrepreneurs, organisation leaders, politicians, and “inner-circle-y” people who are Forum- or Twitter-famous. You've probably scheduled meetings with people because they're impressive to you; perhaps you're seeking mentorship and advice from people who are more senior or advanced in your field, or you want to talk to someone because they have cool ideas. This can naturally inflame impostor syndrome, feelings of inadequacy, and negative comparisons. Everyone seems smarter, harder-working, more agentic, better informed. Everyone's got it all figured out, while you're still stuck at Stage 2 of 80k's career planning process. Everyone expects you to have a plan to save the world, and you don't even have a plan for how to start making a plan. Most EAs, I think, know that these thought patterns are counterproductive. But even if some rational part of you knows this, it can still be hard to fight them - especially if you're tired, scattered, or over-busy, since this makes it harder to employ therapeutic coping mechanisms. The stakes are high We're trying to solve immense, scary problems. We (and CEA) pour so much time and money into these conferences because we hope that they'll help us make progress on those problems. This can make the conferences anxiety-inducing - you really really hope that the conference pays off. This is especially true if you have some specific goal - such as finding a job, collaborators or funders - or if you think the conference has a high opportunity cost for you. You spend a lot of time talking about depressing things This is just part of being an EA, of course, but most of us don't spend all our time directly confronting the magnitude of these problems. Having multiple back-to-back conversations about ‘how can we solve [massive, seemingly-intractable problem]?' can be pretty discouraging. Everything is busy and frantic You're constantly rushing from meeting to meeting, trying not to bump into others who are doing the same. You see acquaintances but only have time to wave hello, because y...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Where I'm at with AI risk: convinced of danger but not (yet) of doom, published by Amber Dawn on March 21, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. [content: discussing AI doom. I'm sceptical about AI doom, but if dwelling on this is anxiety-inducing for you, consider skipping this post] I'm a cause-agnostic (or more accurately ‘cause-confused') EA with a non-technical background. A lot of my friends and writing clients are extremely worried about existential risks from AI. Many believe that humanity is more likely than not to go extinct due to AI within my lifetime. I realised that I was confused about this, so I set myself the goal of understanding the case for AI doom, and my own scepticisms, better. I did this by (very limited!) reading, writing down my thoughts, and talking to friends and strangers (some of whom I recruited from the Bountied Rationality Facebook group - if any of you are reading, thanks again!) Tl;dr: I think there are good reasons to worry about extremely powerful AI, but I don't yet understand why people think superintelligent AI is highly likely to end up killing everyone by default. Why I'm writing this I'm writing up my current beliefs and confusions in the hope that readers will be able to correct my misconceptions, clarify things I'm confused about, and link me to helpful resources. I also personally enjoy reading other EAs' reflections about cause areas: e.g. Saulius' post on wild animal welfare, or Nuño's sceptical post about AI risk. This post is far less well-informed, but I found those posts valuable because of their reasoning transparency more than their authors' expertise. I'd love to read more posts by ‘layperson' EAs talking about their personal cause prioritisation. I also think that 'confusion' is an underrepresented intellectual position. At EAGx Cambridge, Yulia Ponomarenko led a great workshop on ‘Asking daft questions with confidence'. We talked about how EAs are sometimes unwilling to ask questions that would make them less confused for fear that the questions are too basic, silly, “dumb”, or about something they're already expected to know. This could create a false appearance of consensus about cause areas or world models. People who are convinced by the case for AI risk will naturally be very vocal, as will those who are confidently sceptical. However, people who are unsure or confused may be unwilling to share their thoughts, either because they're afraid that others will look down on them for not already understanding the case, or just because most people are less motivated to write about their vague confusions than their strong opinions. So I'm partly writing this as representation for the ‘generally unsure' point of view. Some caveats: there's a lot I haven't read, including many basic resources. And my understanding of the technical side of AI (maths, programming) is extremely limited. Technical friends often say ‘you don't need to understand the technical details about AI to understand the arguments for x-risk from AI'. But when I talk and think about these questions, it subjectively feels like I run up again a lack of technical understanding quite often. Where I'm at with AI safety Tl;dr: I'm concerned about certain risks from misaligned or misused AI, but I don't understand the arguments that AI will, by default and in absence of a specific alignment technique, be so misaligned as to cause human extinction (or something similarly bad.) Convincing (to me) arguments for why AI could be dangerous Humans could use AI to do bad things more effectively For example, politicians could use AI to devastatingly make war on their enemies, or CEOs could use it to increase their profits in harmful or reckless ways. This seems like a good reason to regulate AI development heavily and/or to democratise AI control, so that it's har...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Tyler Johnston on helping farmed animals, consciousness, and being conventionally good, published by Amber Dawn on March 10, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post is part of a series of six interviews. As EAs, we want to use our careers or donations to do the most good - but it's difficult to work out what exactly that looks like for us. I wanted to interview effective altruists working in different fields and on different causes and ask them how they chose their cause area, as well as how they relate to effective altruism and doing good more generally. During the Prague Fall Season residency, I interviewed six EAs in Prague about what they are doing and why they are doing it. I'm grateful to my interviewees for giving their time, and to the organisers of PFS for supporting my visit. I'm currently working as a freelance writer and editor. If you're interested in hiring me, book a short call or email me at ambace@gmail.com. More info here. Tyler Johnston is an aspiring effective altruist currently based out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Professionally, he works on corporate campaigns to improve the lives of farmed chickens, and is interested in cause prioritisation, interspecies comparisons, and the suffering of non-humans. He's also a science-fiction fan and an amateur crossword puzzle constructor. We talked about: his work on The Humane League's corporate animal welfare campaigns how he became a vegan and animal advocate whether animals are conscious how being conventionally good is underrated On his work at The Humane League Amber: Tell me about what you're doing. Tyler: I work for The Humane League. We run public awareness campaigns to try to get companies to make commitments to improve the treatment of farmed animals in their supply chains. This strategy first gained traction in 2015, and was immediately really powerful. Since then, it has got a lot of interest from EA funders. Amber: Did The Humane League always do that, or was it doing something else before 2015? Tyler: It was a long journey; The Humane League's original name was Hugs for Puppies Amber: Aww, that's very cute! Tyler: Yeah, I feel like we'd be a more likeable organisation if we were still called that. They started doing demonstrations around issues like fur bans, and other animal welfare issues there was already a lot of energy around. They then switched to focussing on vegan advocacy, which involved things like leafleting, and sharing recipes and resources. Amber: So the strategy at that time then was to encourage people to go vegan, which would lower demand for factory farming, which would mean there were fewer factory-farmed animals? Tyler: That's right. There was some early evidence that showed this was promising, and it also just made sense to them, since most vegans would attribute their own choice to be vegan to a time in the past when they heard and agreed with the arguments. So they thought, ‘why wouldn't this export to other people?' Amber: But you said the strategy is different now - it's to lobby actual food producers to treat the animals that they're farming better. Say more about that. Tyler: That's our dominant strategy now, yeah. It's part of a broader shift in the [animal advocacy] movement toward institutional change rather than individual change. If for some given company, you either have to change the minds of, like, 10 million consumers, or a dozen executive stakeholders - the latter is just a lot more tractable. It started with running small campaigns to persuade companies to source cage-free eggs, and it turned out that this worked. Around 2015 there was a sharp turning point in the number of farmed birds that are cage-free - before 2015, the percentage was growing very slowly, from 3% to 5%, but between 2015 and today, the percentage went up from 5% to 36%. And people attr...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: In (mild) defence of the social/professional overlap in EA, published by Amber Dawn on February 9, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The EA community has both a professional aspect and a social aspect; sometimes, these overlap. In particular, there are networks of EAs in major hubs who variously date each other, are friends with each other, live together, work at the same organizations, and sometimes make grantmaking or funding decisions related to each other. (I'll call this the ‘work/social overlap' throughout). Recently, lots of people have criticised the work/social overlap in EA, blaming it for things like the misogynistic, abusive dynamics described in the recent Time article, or for the FTX collapse. In this post, I talk a bit about why I'm wary of calls to “deal with” or “address” the work/social overlap in some way (this includes, but isn't limited to, calls to “deal with” polyamory in EA specifically). This is partly because I think that the work/social overlap has some strong benefits, which is why it exists, and the benefits outweigh the drawbacks (though we should certainly try to mitigate the drawbacks as best we can). If you want to get rid of something, you should first try to make sure that it's not importantly load-bearing first; I think in fact that EA work/social overlap probably is importantly load-bearing in some ways. (I never thought that I'd be invoking a Chesterton's fence argument in support of polyamorously dating all your coworkers :p but there we go). And it's partly because I think it's immoral and harmful to try to prevent people from consensually forming relationships with whom they want, and it's only a little better if the mechanisms you use to attempt this are supposedly “soft” or “non-coercive”. In Forum tradition, disclosures and caveats first: I'm fully embedded in the EA work/social overlap. I work as a freelancer, mostly with EA clients, some of whom I know socially; I live in London and am friends with many other London EAs; and I'm dating two other EAs. I also want to acknowledge that there are downsides to the work/social overlap - the critics aren't wrong about their points, they are just missing important other parts of the story. In particular: 1. The work/social overlap gives rise to conflicts-of-interest (and this is more of a problem in highly poly communities, because there are just more conflict-of-interest-ish relationships) 2. The work/social overlap means that people who are engaged with EA professionally, but not part of the social community, may miss out on opportunities. The recent ‘come hang out in the Bay Area' push seems to be a tacit acknowledgement that this is, in fact, how it works. It's good that Bay Area EAs tried to mitigate this by inviting non-locals to visit the Bay and get more plugged in to the in-person social community, but it would be better, in my opinion, if organizations in hubs were less clique-y and more willing to hire people who weren't part of the social community (and indeed, people who don't identify as EA at all). 3. You're putting all your eggs in one basket. If you live with EAs, date EAs, are friends with EAs, and work with EAs, it makes the thought of leaving the EA community really hard. This is bad for epistemics: for a while, I found it really hard to think clearly about where I stood on EA philosophical/ideological positions, because I felt so ‘locked in' to the community in all parts of my life. (I got past this thanks to a fruitful coaching session with Tee Barnett, where he pointed out that my social relationships formed through EA are now much deeper than our EA connection, and when I actually thought about it, I realised that most of my EA friends wouldn't ditch me or disown me if I came to disagree with EA, so leaving EA wouldn't really mean losing access to my so...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Have there been any detailed, cross-cultural surveys into global moral priorities?, published by Amber Dawn on February 6, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Has there been any research done (either within or outside of EA) about most people's moral priorities, and/or about the priorities of recipients of philanthropy? I'm thinking of things like, surveys of large groups of people across many cultures which asked them ‘is it more important to be healthy, or wealthy, or have more choices, or prevent risks that might hurt your grandchildren?' What motivates this question is something like: there's been a lot of talk about democratizing EA. But even if more EA community members had input into funding decisions, that's still not really democratic. I want to know: what does the average person worldwide think that wealthy philanthropists should do with their money? GiveWell commissioned some research into the preferences of people in some low income communities, similar to the beneficiaries of many of their top charities. However, they only asked about whether they valued saving the lives of younger vs older people, and how much they valued saving years of life vs increasing income. It would be interesting to read more holistic surveys that asked about other things that people might value, including things that charities might not straightforwardly be able to provide (like more political participation, or less oppression). (You could use as a basis, for example, the capability approach, or Spencer Greenberg's work on intrinsic values.) This might be useful for longtermists as well as those who focus on global health and poverty in the nearer term. You could ask people how much they value risk mitigation vs increases in wellbeing, for example; or you could use people's answers to try to shape a future that fits more people's values.

This is: Moderator Appreciation Thread, published by Ben West on November 18, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. You might have noticed that the EA Forum has gotten more engagement recently: A sudden 10x increase engagement would be a strain under the best of circumstances, but the moderation load has been even more than the increased engagement would imply, because recent topics of conversation have been unusually heated and targeted by spam, trolls, etc. Thank you to Lorenzo Buonanno and Ryan Fugate, who joined the moderation team a few weeks ago without expecting this, but have hugely stepped up; Amber Dawn, who has tirelessly flagged trolls, spam, and tagged posts; our long time moderators Edo Arad and Julia Wise and moderation advisor Aaron Gertler, who have taken substantial time out from their extremely busy other jobs to help; and of course Lizka Vaintrob for being the non-technical Forum lead.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: We need more recruiters in EA, published by PV on August 23, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. by Pia Voltz TL;DR: EA's success depends greatly on placing outstanding people in high-impact positions. However, in the last couple of years, there hasn't been enough focus on recruitment as a professional way of finding, vetting, assessing, and placing talent within the EA community. This “lack of demand” has created a lack of supply of qualified recruiters. To remove bottlenecks in organizations, communities, and industries benefiting EA cause areas, we need more professional recruitment activities - and recruiters. I want to encourage more people to consider recruitment as a potential high-impact career for themselves. In this article I am: sharing my perspective on recruitment as an overlooked career opportunity sharing the link to a job profile on recruitment I wrote About the author: Pia Voltz has 9 years of work experience in executive search, assessment, training, and employer branding. She has been an EA member since 2016, co-founded EA Dresden in 2018, CellAg Germany in 2021, and in early 2022 Tälist, an organization that matches Alternative Protein businesses with the best talent from around the globe for the benefit of humans, nature, and animals. Acknowledgments: Thanks to Anya Hunt for coordinating our publications and to Sofia Balderson for providing valuable guidance on writing my first EA blog post. Thanks to Rowan (Connor) Flynn, Shaileen McGovern, and Rainer Kravets for their feedback on a draft of this post. Disclaimer: While writing this blog, I learned that Katie Glass and Anya Hunt have already been working on a much more comprehensive article on the same topic (soon to be published). Just before publishing I also took notice of this article by Kat Woods and Amber Dawn. This is why I shortened my initial draft to avoid too much overlap and focus on content that provides an additional perspective: my own hiring experience of finding EA-aligned recruiters for Tälist, as well as a job profile for recruiters. Recruitment as an overlooked, high-impact career The way EA has approached the goal of redirecting people to high-impact careers has been heavily focusing on community building and raising awareness for certain careers. In recruitment terms, this could be seen as building a talent pipeline - a rapidly growing, global talent pool. At the same time, professional recruitment as a systematic way of placing candidates from this talent pool into high-impact roles has been neglected. This “lack of demand” created a lack of supply - recruiters with the right skills and EA alignment are difficult to find (based on my experience when hiring a recruiter for Tälist, and anecdotal evidence from other organizations that ran hiring processes for recruiters in the last two years). Much like operations management wasn't considered a high-impact role in the past, recruitment hasn't been discussed, or proposed, as an effective way to make a difference. For example, “recruiter” is not mentioned in 80000 Hours' list of recommended careers (even though hiring and HR are mentioned as the last project in their project list for operations management roles), and there haven't been any blog posts about recruitment as a profession to date. In my perspective, this signals that the EA community has been underrating this profession and the potential benefits it could have, especially because EA is growing rapidly, and thus, will need to engage more talented people. By now, operations management has largely been accepted as having a positive impact on organizational efficiency. In the same way, we need greater awareness of the massive impact recruiting can have through the cumulative benefits of putting the right people in the right roles. The impact potential was one of the m...

Is it okay for anyone to have opinions about marginalized communities even if they're not a part of those communities? Do people in marginalized groups have special knowledge (especially tacit knowledge) about their groups that can't be known or experienced from the outside? To what extent can we know and empathize with others' experiences regardless of differences in race, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, etc.? Do oppression and discrimination tend to be caused more by active bigotry or by mere lack of care and awareness? What information (if any) does intersectionality fail to capture about people? Is describing someone intersectionally an end in itself, or is it just a way of correcting (or over-correcting) for the suppression of marginalized voices? Should ideas be discussed absent their context or implications (see: decoupling norms vs. contextualizing norms)? To what extent should we focus on individuals versus groups when attempting to fix inequities? Are individuals or groups responsible for redressing the atrocities of their ancestors? Should people be "cancelled" for their views (including their past views, even if their current views are different)? To what extent is the shifting of moral ground around social justice issues unpredictable and/or disorienting? How can democratic societies balance the need to debate difficult ideas with the risk of giving reprehensible ideas a platform? Should rules about offensiveness be enforced from the top down (e.g., from a government, a school administration, a company's board of directors, or even parents)? Is offense only "in the eye of the beholder"?Amber Dawn is an itinerant UChicago PhD student working on Plato and Lucretius.

Whatsup Nerdz!⁣ ⁣ We are very excited about this weeks episode. Brought to light by Miss. Amber Dawn and shared with our badass guest Christina Sisk. ⁣ ⁣ Christina is a 75kg Elite Level Powerlifter who gave us the opportunity to sit down with her and discuss female PED usage. ⁣ ⁣ This is a rather sensitive topic, but one that should be discussed more openly and frequently. ⁣ ⁣ We want to note that in no way are we promoting PED usage, rather we wanted to create an open discussion about the very real world of PED usage with females and particularly females within the strength sport world. This discussion will hopefully be informative and help diminish that fear or stigma that surrounds PED usage. ⁣ ⁣ Thank you for tuning in! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The Parlour Project has made it's grand debut in Montreal and the woman behind this multi-media performance is one of the most open hearted women I have encountered. Artist Amber Dawn pours her heart out with all honesty and beauty sharing with us her experience building this massive art project, from the ground up, inspired by her past as a sex worker. The Parlour Project rooted in ritual and ceremony asks us how much we value femininity and in ALL of its forms. Amber offers us a different view on what it means to be a powerful woman. If anything she will draw you into her web, she is a frequency enhancer, as she likes to put it...and it's true that the vibration in the room was higher after she left.

Several years ago, Amber did a head dive thru a windshield from the backseat of a car in a 50 mph head-on collision. Throughout her healing process, she didn’t end up needing the skin graft as planned because of an oil that was brought to her by her cousin. She became fascinated with essential oils, herbs, and natural healing. Now, here she is sharing her story and her serum that was created based off of that experience and all the knowledge she has acquired since. Amber had red raised scars for a long time that she always would put on concealer and powder to hide, and ever since she started using her serum religiously morning and night, the scars are completely white and smooth. She loves showing off her skin and it is her goal to help you fall in love with your skin, too. Silvermoon Restoratives products contain all natural, certified organic ingredients to restore your skin from the inside out.
