Podcast appearances and mentions of David Moss

Rethink Priorities has been conducting a range of surveys and experiments aimed at understanding how people respond to different framings of Effective Altruism (EA), Longtermism, and related specific cause areas. There has been much debate about whether people involved in EA and Longtermism should frame their efforts and outreach in terms of Effective altruism, Longtermism, Existential risk, Existential security, Global priorities research, or by only mentioning specific risks, such as AI safety and Pandemic prevention (examples can be found at the following links: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8). These discussions have taken place almost entirely in the absence of empirical data, even though they concern largely empirical questions.[1] In this post we report the results of three pilot studies examining responses to different EA-related terms and descriptions.

Intro Suppose you have $100M to give away. You are drawn to the many important opportunities to reduce animal suffering or address pressing issues in global health and development. Your choice about how to allocate the funds could depend on considerations like these: Moral values: How much moral weight do you assign to various non-human species? Are you focused exclusively on hedonic considerations, like reducing suffering? Or do you have other relevant values, such as autonomy? Cost-effectiveness estimates: Species-discounting aside, how many DALYs/$ do the best projects in the area achieve? How fast do returns diminish in these areas? Decision-theoretic values: How do you feel about risk-taking? Are you willing to tolerate a substantial probability that projects will fail? What about non-trivial chances of projects backfiring? Second-order effects: Will giving to one cause set benefit any of your other values? Are there speculative benefits that might flow from [...] ---Outline:(00:09) Intro(02:47) Cross-Cause Cost-Effectiveness Model(02:51) How it works(04:25) What it says(06:53) Portfolio Builder Tool(06:57) How it works(08:12) What it says(10:32) Moral Parliament Tool(10:36) How it works(11:48) What it says(12:02) Parliament composition matters(14:10) Allocation strategy matters(17:27) ConclusionsThe original text contained 5 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.

Ian Cheeseman was the BBC's Manchester City correspondent for nearly 25 years and has been a fan all of his life. Here he hosts his weekly podcast, Forever Blue, where all things Man City are discussed. Sponsored by Counting King, experts in business finance. Ian is joined by former Manchester City assistant manager David Moss plus Harlan and Amy to discuss the controversy of the 2-2 draw with Arsenal. Rodri seemed to be targeted, Arsenal time wasted and defended very deep for the whole of the second half.

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: AMA: Rethink Priorities' Worldview Investigation Team, published by Bob Fischer on July 31, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Rethink Priorities' Worldview Investigation Team (WIT) will run an Ask Me Anything (AMA). We'll reply on the 7th and 8th of August. Please put your questions in the comments below! What's WIT? WIT is Hayley Clatterbuck, Bob Fischer, Arvo Munoz Moran, David Moss, and Derek Shiller. Our team exists to improve resource allocation within and beyond the effective altruism movement, focusing on tractable, high-impact questions that bear on strategic priorities. We try to take action-relevant philosophical, methodological, and strategic problems and turn them into manageable, modelable problems. Our projects have included: The Moral Weight Project. If we want to do as much good as possible, we have to compare all the ways of doing good - including ways that involve helping members of different species. This sequence collects Rethink Priorities' work on cause prioritization across different kinds of animals, human and nonhuman. (You can check out the book version here.) The CURVE Sequence. What are the alternatives to expected value maximization (EVM) for cause prioritization? And what are the practical implications of a commitment to expected value maximization? This series of posts - and an associated tool, the Cross-Cause Cost-Effectivesness Model - explores these questions. The CRAFT Sequence. This sequence introduces two tools: a Portfolio Builder, where the key uncertainties concern cost curves and decision theories, and a Moral Parliament Tool, which allows for the modeling of both normative and metanormative uncertainty. The Sequence's primary goal is to take some first steps toward more principled and transparent ways of constructing giving portfolios. In the coming months, we'll be working on a model to assess the probability of digital consciousness. What should you ask us? Anything! Possible topics include: How we understand our place in the EA ecosystem. Why we're so into modeling. Our future plans and what we'd do with additional resources. What it's like doing "academic" work outside of academia. Biggest personal updates from the work we've done.

CreekTalk: A Conversation with Pastor Donald Thomas and David Moss

Satisfaction with the EA community Reported satisfaction, from 1 (Very dissatisfied) to 10 (Very satisfied), in December 2023/January 2024 was lower than when we last measured it shortly after the FTX crisis at the end of 2022 (6.77 vs. 6.99, respectively).  However, December 2023/January 2024 satisfaction ratings were higher than what people recalled their satisfaction being “shortly after the FTX collapse” (and their recalled level of satisfaction was lower than what we measured their satisfaction as being at the end of 2022). We think it's plausible that satisfaction reached a nadir at some point later than December 2022, but may have improved since that point, while still being lower than pre-FTX.

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: Updates on Community Health Survey Results, published by David Moss on March 20, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Satisfaction with the EA community Reported satisfaction, from 1 (Very dissatisfied) to 10 (Very satisfied), in December 2023/January 2024 was lower than when we last measured it shortly after the FTX crisis at the end of 2022 (6.77 vs. 6.99, respectively). However, December 2023/January 2024 satisfaction ratings were higher than what people recalled their satisfaction being "shortly after the FTX collapse" (and their recalled level of satisfaction was lower than what we measured their satisfaction as being at the end of 2022). We think it's plausible that satisfaction reached a nadir at some point later than December 2022, but may have improved since that point, while still being lower than pre-FTX. Reasons for dissatisfaction with EA: A number of factors were cited a similar number of times by respondents as Very important reasons for dissatisfaction, among those who provided a reason: Cause prioritization (22%), Leadership (20%), Justice, Equity, Inclusion and Diversity (JEID, 19%), Scandals (18%) and excessive Focus on AI / x-risk / longtermism (16%). Including mentions of Important (12%) and Slightly important (7%) factors, JEID was the most commonly mentioned factor overall. Changes in engagement over the last year 39% of respondents reported getting at least slightly less engaged, while 31% reported no change in engagement, and 29% reported increasing engagement. Concrete changes in behavior 31% of respondents reported that they had stopped referring to "EA" while still promoting EA projects or ideas, and 15% that they had temporarily stopped promoting EA. Smaller percentages reported other changes such as ceasing to engage with online EA spaces (6.8%), permanently stopping promoting EA ideas or projects (6.3%), stopping attending EA events (5.5%), stopping working on any EA projects (4.3%) and stopping donating (2.5%). Desire for more community change as a result of the FTX collapse 46% of respondents at least somewhat agreed that they would like to see the EA community change more than it already has, as a result of the FTX collapse, while 26% somewhat or strongly disagreed. Trust in EA organizations Reported trust in key EA organizations (Center for Effective Altruism, Open Philanthropy, and 80,000 Hours) were slightly lower than in our December 2022 post-FTX survey, though the change for 80,000 Hours did not reliably exclude no difference. Perceived leadership vacuum 41% of respondents at least somewhat agreed that 'EA currently has a vacuum of leadership', while 22% somewhat or strongly disagreed. As part of the EA Survey, Rethink Priorities has been tracking community health related metrics, such as satisfaction with the EA community. Since the FTX crisis in 2022, there has been considerable discussion regarding how that crisis, and other events, have impacted the EA community. In the recent aftermath of the FTX crisis, Rethink Priorities fielded a supplemental survey to assess whether and to what extent those events had affected community satisfaction and health. Analyses of the supplemental survey showed relative reductions in satisfaction following FTX, while absolute satisfaction was still generally positive. In this post, we report findings from a subsequent EA community survey, with data collected between December 11th 2023 and January 3rd 2024.[1] Community satisfaction over time There are multiple ways to assess community satisfaction over time, so as to establish possible changes following the FTX crisis and other subsequent negative events. We have 2022 data pre-FTX and shortly after FTX, as well as the recently-acquired data from 2023-2024, which also includes respondents' recalled satisfaction following FTX.[2] Satisf...

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: Announcing Surveys on Community Health, Causes, and Harassment, published by David Moss on December 15, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. We are announcing a supplementary survey to gather timely information from the EA community before the next EA Survey in 2024. This survey will contain questions related to: Community health and satisfaction with the EA community Cause prioritization and how EA resources should be allocated Demographics (which can optionally be skipped if you provided your email address last time and opt for us to link your responses) We are also sending out a separate survey, requested by CEA's Community Health and Special Projects team, focusing primarily on sexual harassment and gender-related experiences: 4. EA Climate and Harassment Survey You can take the first survey here. This will give you the option to take the Climate and Harassment Survey immediately afterwards, without having to answer the demographic questions twice. Alternatively, you can just take the Climate and Harassment survey here. If you wish to share links to either of these surveys with others, please use the following links: Both surveys: https://rethinkpriorities.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1G37guBPVAl9TtI?source=sharing Climate and Harassment Survey alone: https://rethinkpriorities.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bxD0wtmuuXw4KUe?source=sharing The first survey should be significantly shorter than the main EA Survey, depending on how much detail you choose to provide in the open comment questions and whether you skip the demographic section by providing your email address. The EA Climate and Harassment Survey is estimated to take between 5 and 30 minutes depending on how much detail you choose to provide. Both surveys are planned to close on 1st January 2024.

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: Are 1-in-5 Americans familiar with EA?, published by David Moss on November 2, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. YouGov recently reported the results of a survey (n=1000) suggesting that about "one in five (22%) Americans are familiar with effective altruism." [1] We think these results are exceptionally unlikely to be true. Their 22% figure is very similar to the proportion of Americans we previously found claim to have heard of effective altruism (19%) in our earlier survey (n=6130). But, after conducting appropriate checks, we estimated that much lower percentages are likely to have genuinely heard of EA [2] (2.6% after the most stringent checks, which we speculate is still likely to be somewhat inflated [3] ). Is it possible that these numbers have simply dramatically increased following the FTX scandal? Fortunately, we have tested this with multiple followup surveys explicitly designed with this possibility in mind. [4] In our most recent survey (conducted October 6th [5] ), we estimated that approximately 16% (13.0%-20.4%) of US adults would claim to have heard of EA. Yet, when we add in additional checks to assess whether people appear to have really heard of the term, or have a basic understanding of what it means, this estimate drops to 3% (1.7% to 4.4%), and even to approximately 1% with a more stringent level of assessment. [6] These results are roughly in line with our earlier polling in May 2022, as well as additional polling we conducted between May 2022 and October 2023, and do not suggest any dramatic increase in awareness of effective altruism, although assessing small changes when base rates are already low is challenging. We plan to continue to conduct additional surveys, which will allow us to assess possible changes from just before the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried to after the trial. Attitudes towards EA YouGov also report that respondents are, even post-FTX, overwhelmingly positive towards EA, with 81% of those who (claim to) have heard of EA approving or strongly approving of EA. Fortunately, this positive view is broadly in line with our own findings- across different ways of breaking down who has heard of EA and different levels of stringency- which we aim to report on separately at a later date. However, our earlier work did find that awareness of FTX was associated with more negative attitudes towards EA. Conclusions The point of this post is not to criticise YouGov in particular. However, we do think it's worth highlighting that even highly reputable polling organizations should not be assumed to be employing all the additional checks that may be required to understand a particular question. This may apply especially in relation to niche topics like effective altruism, or more technical topics like AI, where additional nuance and checks may be required to assess understanding. ^ Also see this quick take . ^ There are many reasons why respondents may erroneously claim knowledge of something. But simply put, one reason is that people like demonstrating their knowledge, and may err on the side of claiming to have heard of something even if they are not sure. Moreover, if the component words that make up a term are familiar, then the respondent may either mistakenly believe they have already encountered the term, or think it is sufficient that they believe they can reasonably infer what the term means from its component parts to claim awareness (even when explicitly instructed not to approach the task this way!). Some people also appear to conflate the term with others - for example, some amalgamation of inclusive fitness/reciprocal altruism appears quite common. For reference, over 12% of people claim to have heard of the specific term "Globally neutral advocacy": A term that the research team invented, which returns no google results as...

YouGov recently reported the results of a survey (n=1000) suggesting that about “one in five (22%) Americans are familiar with effective altruism.”[1]We think these results are exceptionally unlikely to be true. Their 22% figure is very similar to the proportion of Americans we previously found claim to have heard of effective altruism (19%) in our earlier survey (n=6130). But, after conducting appropriate checks, we estimated that much lower percentages are likely to have genuinely heard of EA[2] (2.6% after the most stringent checks, which we speculate is still likely to be somewhat inflated[3]).Is it possible that these numbers have simply dramatically increased following the FTX scandal?Fortunately, we have tested this with multiple followup surveys explicitly designed with this possibility in mind.[4] In our most recent survey (conducted October 6th[5]), we estimated that approximately 16% (13.0%-20.4%) of US adults would claim to have heard of EA. Yet, when we add in [...] ---Outline:(02:00) Attitudes towards EA(02:35) ConclusionsThe original text contained 6 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: November 2nd, 2023 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/CwKiAt54aJjcqoQDh/are-1-in-5-americans-familiar-with-ea --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

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: Re-announcing Pulse, published by David Moss on September 5, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. In September 2022, we announced that we were developing Pulse, a large and repeated US-population survey focusing on public attitudes relevant to high impact issues. This project was originally going to be supported by the FTX Future Fund and was therefore delayed while we sought alternative funding. We have now acquired alternative funding for this project for one year. However, the project will now be running on a quarterly basis, rather than monthly, to make the most efficient use of limited funds. Request for questions As such, we are now, again, soliciting requests for questions to include in the survey. We are particularly interested in questions which people would value being tracked across time, since this will make the most use of Pulse's nature as a quarterly survey. We will still likely include some one-off questions in Pulse (space permitting), and welcome requests of this kind, but in principle we could just include these questions in separate surveys (funding permitting). Given the lower frequency of the surveys, we now believe it is more important than ever to ensure that we include the questions which are the highest priority. Due to space constraints (data quality drops dramatically when surveys exceed a certain length), we are not able to field questions on every topic that we might wish to. At present, we plan to include questions primarily focused on: Awareness of and attitudes towards effective altruism, longtermism, and related areas (e.g. (our previous work)). Support for different cause areas or particular policies (e.g. AI) However, we are keen to get requests for other cause areas or topics. Ironically, this meant that we weren't able to run Pulse during the time of the FTX crisis, when tracking attitudes towards EA at a large scale would have been particularly useful. It also meant that Pulse wasn't running during the recent increase in public interest in AI risk. We think this is a useful illustration of why it is important to have regular surveys running in advance (and keep them running) so that we can capture changes in public attitudes due to unforeseen events. Fortunately, we do have some pre-test data on both of these topics, which we will be able to use to assess changes to some extent. Thanks for listening.

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: Why some people disagree with the CAIS statement on AI, published by David Moss on August 15, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Previous research from Rethink Priorities found that a majority of the population (59%) agreed with a statement from the Center for AI Safety (CAIS) that stated "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war." 26% of the population disagreed with this statement. This research piece does further qualitative research to analyze this opposition in more depth. The most commonly mentioned theme among those who disagreed with the CAIS statement was that other priorities were more important (mentioned by 36% of disagreeing respondents), with climate change particularly commonly mentioned. This theme was particularly strongly occurring among younger disagreeing respondents (43.3%) relative to older disagreeing respondents (27.8%). The next most commonly mentioned theme was rejection of the idea that AI would cause extinction (23.4%), though some of these respondents agreed AI may pose other risks. Another commonly mentioned theme was the idea that AI was not yet a threat, though it might be in the future. This was commonly co-occurring with the 'Other priorities' theme, with many arguing that other threats were more imminent. Other less commonly mentioned themes included that AI would be under our control (8.8%) and so would not pose a threat, while another was that AI was not capable of causing harm, because it was not sentient or sophisticated or autonomous (5%). Introduction Our previous survey on attitudes on US public perception of the CAIS statement on AI risk found that a majority of Americans agree with the statement (59%), while a minority (26%) disagreed. To gain a better understanding of why individuals might disagree with the statement, we ran an additional survey, where we asked a new sample of respondents whether they agreed or disagreed with the statement, and then asked them to explain why they agreed or disagreed. We then coded the responses of those who disagreed with the statement to identify major recurring themes in people's comments. We did not formally analyze comments from those who did not disagree with the statement, though may do so in a future report. Since responses to this question might reflect responses to the specifics of the statement, rather than more general reactions to the idea of AI risk, it may be useful to review the statement before reading about the results. "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war." Common themes This section outlines the most commonly recurring themes. In a later section of this report we'll discuss each theme in more detail and provide examples from each. It is important, when interpreting these percentages to remember that they are percentages of those 31.2% respondents who disagreed with the statement, not of all respondents. The dominant theme, by quite a wide margin, was the claim that 'Other priorities' were more important, which was mentioned by 36% of disagreeing respondents. The next most common theme was 'Not extinction', mentioned in 23.4% of responses, which simply involved respondents asserting that they did not believe that AI would cause extinction. The third most commonly mentioned theme was 'Not yet', which involved respondents claiming that AI was not yet a threat or something to worry about. The 'Other priorities' and 'Not yet' themes were commonly co-occurring, mentioned together by 7.9% of respondents, more than any other combination. Some less commonly mentioned themes were 'Control', the idea that AI could not be a threat because it would inevitably be under our...

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: EA Survey 2022: Demographics, published by David Moss on May 15, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Gender Since 2020, the percentage of women in our sample has increased (26.5% vs 29.3%) and the percentage of men decreased (70.5% vs 66.2%). More recent cohorts of EAs have lower percentages of men than earlier cohorts. This pattern is compatible with either increased recruitment of women, non-binary or other non-male EAs in more recent years and/or men being more likely to drop out of EA. We examine differences between cohorts across years and find no evidence of significant differences in dropout between men and women. Race/ethnicity The percentage of white respondents in our sample (76.26%) has remained fairly flat over time. More recent cohorts contain lower percentages of white respondents (compatible with either increased recruitment and/or lower dropout of non-white respondents). We also examine differences between cohorts across years for race/ethnicity, but do not find a consistent pattern. Age The average age at which people first get involved in EA (26) has continued to increase. Education and employment The percentage of students in the movement has decreased since 2020 and the percentage in employment has increased. However, just over 40% of those who joined EA in the last year were students. Universities 11.8% of respondents attended the top 10 (QS) ranked universities globally. Career strategies The most commonly cited strategy for impact in one's career was ‘research' (20.61%) followed by ‘still deciding' (19.63%). More than twice as many respondents selected research as selected ‘earning to give' (10.24%), organization-building skills (ops, management), government and policy, entrepreneurship or community building (

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: Rethink Priorities' Leadership Statement on the FTX situation, published by abrahamrowe on November 23, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. From the Executive Team and Board of Directors of Rethink Priorities (Peter Wildeford, Marcus Davis, Abraham Rowe, Kieran Greig, David Moss, Ozzie Gooen, Cameron Meyer Shorb, and Vicky Bond). We were saddened and shocked to learn about the extremely serious alleged misdeeds and misconduct of Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX. While we are still trying to understand what happened and the consequences of these events, we are dismayed that customer funds may have been used improperly, and that, currently, many customers are unable to retrieve funds held by FTX. We unequivocally and in the strongest possible terms condemn any potential fraud or misuse of customer funds and trust that occurred at FTX. The actions that Bankman-Fried and FTX have been accused of are out of line with the values that we believe in and try to represent as an organization. At this time, Rethink Priorities remains in a stable financial and legal position. We do not plan on laying off staff or cutting salaries in response to these events or to the changed financial condition of the EA space. However, the strategies of our General Longtermism, Special Projects, and Surveys teams were partly based on the existence of FTX funding for Rethink Priorities and others in the EA community. For the time being, we've mainly paused further hiring for these programs and are revisiting our strategies for them going forward. We've decided that hiring for our Special Projects team, which was already in progress before we learned about the FTX situation, will proceed in order to evaluate and onboard new fiscal sponsees. Unfortunately, this situation does impact our long-term financial outlook and our ability to keep growing. Rethink Priorities continues to have large funding needs and we look forward to sharing more about our plans with the community in the next few days. We will need to address the funding gap left by these changed conditions for the coming years. In terms of legal exposure, Rethink Priorities' legal counsel are looking into the possibility of clawbacks of funds previously donated to us by FTX-related sources. At this time, we are not aware of any other significant legal exposure for Rethink Priorities or its staff. Prior to the news breaking this month, we already had procedures in place intended to mitigate potential financial risks from relying on FTX or other cryptocurrency donors. Internally, we've always had a practice of treating pledged or anticipated cryptocurrency donations as less reliable than other types of donations for fundraising forecasting purposes, simply due to volatility in that sector. As a part of regular crisis management exercises, we also engaged in an internal simulation in August around the possibility of FTX funds no longer being available. We did this exercise due to the relative size and importance of the funding to us, and the base failure rates of cryptocurrency projects, not due to having non-public information about FTX or Bankman-Fried. In hindsight, we believe we could have done more to share these internal risk assessments with the rest of the EA community. Going forward, we are reevaluating our own approach to risk management and the assessment of donors, though we do not believe any changes we will make would have caught this specific issue. As mentioned above, Rethink Priorities is receiving legal advice on clawbacks, and we are happy to share resources with other organizations that are concerned about their exposure. We cannot provide legal advice, but we are able to provide information on our own response—please reach out to Abraham Rowe (abraham@rethinkpriorities.org) for more information. Thanks for listening.

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: Announcing EA Survey 2022, published by David Moss on October 31, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The 2022 EA Survey is now live at the following link: We appreciate it when EAs share the survey with others. If you would like to do so, please use this link () so that we can track where our sample is recruited from. We currently plan to leave the survey open until December the 1st, though it's possible we might extend the window, as we did last year. What's new this year? The EA Survey is substantially shorter. Our testers completed the survey in 10 minutes or less. We worked with CEA to make it possible for some of your answers to be pre-filled with your previous responses, to save you even more time. At present, this is only possible if you took the 2020 EA Survey and shared your data with CEA. This is because your responses are identified using your EffectiveAltruism.org log-in. In future years, we may be able to email you a custom link which would allow you to pre-fill, or simply not be shown, certain questions which you have answered before, whether or not you share your data with CEA, and there is an option to opt-in to this in this year's survey. Why take the EA Survey? The EA Survey provides valuable information about the EA community and how it is changing over time. Every year the survey is used to inform the decisions of a number of different EA orgs. And, despite the survey being much shorter this year, this year we have included requests from a wider variety of decision-makers than ever before. Prize This year the Centre for Effective Altruism has, again, generously donated a prize of $1000 USD that will be awarded to a randomly selected respondent to the EA Survey, for them to donate to any of the organizations listed on EA Funds. Please note that to be eligible, you need to provide a valid e-mail address so that we can contact you. Thanks for listening.

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: Announcing EA Pulse, large monthly US surveys on EA, published by David Moss on September 20, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Rethink Priorities is excited to announce EA Pulse - a large, monthly survey of the US population aimed at measuring and understanding public perceptions of Effective Altruism and EA-aligned cause areas! This project has been made possible by a grant from the FTX Future Fund. What is EA Pulse? EA Pulse aims to serve two primary purposes: Tracking changes in responses to key questions relevant to EA and longtermism over time (e.g. awareness of and attitudes towards EA and longtermism, and support for different cause areas). Running ad hoc questions requested by EA orgs (e.g. support for particular policies, responses to different messages EAs are considering). We welcome requests for questions to include in the survey of either of these types. Please comment below or e-mail david@rethinkpriorities.org, ideally by October 20th. By tracking beliefs and attitudes towards issues related to effective altruism and longtermism, we can better get our finger on the pulse of movement building efforts over time, and potentially identify unforeseen risks to the movement. We will also be able to determine whether particular subgroups of the population appear to be missed or turned off by our outreach efforts. We also believe that surveying the broader public can provide a new window for looking at how the ideas generated by the EA community are being taken up by the wider population. In turn, it can help us communicate more effectively and efficiently about what matters most. Due to space constraints this survey is best suited to asking about relatively short, straightforward questions. If you are interested in surveys with more complex designs, a larger number of questions or experimental manipulations, complex instructions, or which involve asking respondents to read lengthy text or view videos, we are potentially able to accommodate these in separate surveys (funding permitting). Please feel free to reach out to discuss possibilities. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.

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: Marketing Messages Trial for GWWC Giving Guide Campaign, published by Erin Morrissey on September 8, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The trial was run in conjunction with Josh Lewis (NYU). Thanks to David Moss and others for feedback on this post, and to Jamie Elsey for support with the Bayesian analysis. TL;DR Giving What We Can together with the EA Market Testing Team (EAMT) tested marketing and messaging themes on Facebook in their Effective Giving Guide Facebook Lead campaigns which ran from late November 2021 - January 2022. GWWC's Giving Guide answers key questions about effective giving and includes the latest effective giving recommendations to teach donors how to do the most good with their donations. These were exploratory trials to identify promising strategies to recruit people for GWWC and engage people with EA more broadly. We report the most interesting patterns from these trials to provide insight into which hypotheses might be worth exploring more rigorously in future (‘confirmatory analysis') work. Across four trials we compared the effectiveness of different types of (1) messages, (2) videos, and (3) targeted audiences. The key outcomes were (i) email addresses per dollar (when a Facebook user provides an email lead) and (ii) link clicks per dollar. Based on our analysis of 682,577 unique Facebook ‘impressions', we found: The cost of an email address was as low as $8.00 across campaigns, but it seemed to vary substantially across audiences, videos, and messages. The message "Only 3% of donors give based on charity effectiveness, yet the best charities can be 100x more impactful" generated more link clicks and email addresses per dollar than other messages. In contrast, the message "Giving What We Can has helped 6,000+ people make a bigger impact on the causes they care about most" was less cost-effective than the other messages. A ‘short video with facts about effective giving' generated more email addresses per dollar than either (1) a long video with facts about effective giving or (2) a long video that explained how GWWC can help maximize charitable impact, the GWWC 'brand video.' On a per-dollar basis ‘Animal' audiences that were given animal-related cause videos performed among the best, both overall and in the most comparable trials. ‘Lookalike' audiences (those with a similar profile as current people engaging with GWWC) performed best overall, for both cause and non-cause videos. However, ‘Climate' and ‘Global Poverty' audiences basically underperformed the ‘Philanthropy' audience when presented videos ‘for their own causes.' The Animal-related cause video performed particularly poorly on the ‘Philanthropy' audience. Demographics were mostly not predictive of email addresses per dollar nor link clicks per dollar See our Quarto dynamic document linked here for more details, and ongoing analyses. Purpose and Interpretation of this Report One of the primary goals of the EAMT is to identify the most effective, scalable strategies for marketing EA. Our main approach is to test marketing and messaging themes in naturally-occurring settings (such as advertising campaigns on Facebook, YouTube, etc.), targeting large audiences, to determine which specific strategies work best in the most relevant contexts. In this report, we share key patterns and insights about the effectiveness of different marketing and messaging approaches used in GWWC's Effective Giving Guide Facebook Lead campaigns. The patterns we share here serve as a starting point to consider themes and hypotheses to test more rigorously in our ongoing research project. We are hoping for feedback and suggestions from the EA community on these trials and their implementation and analysis. We continue to conduct detailed analyses of this data. We'd like to get ideas from the community ...

Twin brothers Adam and David Moss have been harmonizing together since their days as kids trapped in their parents car, forced to listen to 60s folk and show tunes. As it turns out, they actually love this music, and now we benefit from it, courtesy of The Brother Brothers latest album, Cover to Cover. It's a love letter of sorts, dedicated to the music that has inspired them throughout their lives.  Adam and David talk with What Difference Does It Make to detail the journey that led them to cover these classic pop and folk songs.   We are a proud member of Pantheon Podcasts

Sure, the siblings Moss sound great together. And they do. And on their new album, Cover to Cover you get to hear their voices tackle some great songs from a variety of eras. We talked to Adam and David Moss about their voices, other brothers in music and what they fought to keep on the record.Cove to Cover is available right now wherever you get your music.

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: How many people have heard of effective altruism?, published by David Moss on May 20, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post reports the results of a survey we ran in April 2022 investigating how many people had heard of ‘effective altruism' in a large (n=6130) sample, weighted to be representative of the US general population. In subsequent posts in this series, we will be reporting on findings from this survey about where people first hear about effective altruism and how positive or negative people's impressions are of effective altruism. This survey replicates and extends a survey we ran in conjunction with CEA in early 2021, which focused only on US students. Because that survey was not representative, we think that these new results offer a significant advance in estimating how many people in the US population have heard of EA, and in particular sub-groups like students and even students at top-ranked universities. Summary After applying a number of checks (described below), we classified individuals as having heard of effective altruism using both a ‘permissive' standard and a more conservative ‘stringent' standard, based on their explanations of what they understand ‘effective altruism' to mean. We estimate that 6.7% of the US adult population have heard of effective altruism using our permissive standard and 2.6% according to our more stringent standard. We also identified a number of differences across groups: Men (7.6% permissive, 3.0% stringent) were more likely to have heard of effective altruism than women (5.8% permissive, 2.1% stringent) Among students specifically, we estimated 7% had heard of EA (according to a permissive standard) and 2.8% (according to the stringent standard). However, students from top-50 ranked universities seemed more likely to have heard of EA (7.9% permissive, 4.1% stringent). We also found that students at top 15 universities were even more likely to have heard of EA, though this was based on a small sample size. Younger (18-24) people seem somewhat less likely to have heard of effective altruism than older (25-44) people, though the pattern is complicated. The results nevertheless suggest that EA's skew towards younger people cannot simply be explained by higher rates of exposure. Higher levels of education were also strongly associated with being more likely to have heard of EA, with 11.7% of those with a graduate degree having heard of it (permissive standard) compared to 9.2% of college graduates and 3.7% of high school graduates. We also found sizable differences between the percentage of Republicans (4.3% permissive, 1.5% stringent) estimated to have heard of EA, compared to Democrats (7.2% permissive, 2.9% stringent) and Independents (4.3% permissive, 1.5% stringent). Humanities students (or graduates) seem more likely to have heard of EA than people from other areas of study. We estimated the percentages that had heard of various EA and EA-adjacent figures and organisations including: Peter Singer: 11.2% William MacAskill: 2.1% GiveWell: 7.8% Giving What We Can: 4.1% Open Philanthropy: 3.6% 80,000 Hours: 1.3% Why it matters how many people have heard of EA Knowing how many people have already encountered EA is potentially relevant to assessing how far we should scale up (or scale down) outreach efforts. This may apply to particular target groups (e.g. students at top universities), as well as the total population. Knowing how the number of people who have encountered effective altruism differs across different groups could highlight who our outreach is missing. Our outreach could simply be failing to reach certain groups. Most people in the EA community do not seem to first hear about EA through particularly direct, targeted outreach (only 7.7% first hear from an EA group, for example), but rather through mo...

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: Should you do an economics PhD (or master's)?, published by david reinstein on April 19, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. David Reinstein: all opinions are mine unless noted. Extensive input from Phil Trammell and an Anonymous Contributor (quoted extensively, henceforth “AC”). Thanks to Pete Wildeford and David Moss for feedback. I intend to continue to update and improve this post in situ (or linking out a ‘permanently updated' version). Overview and some takeaways Should I do an economics PhD (or master's)'? What do I need to learn to work at an EA org? How can I level up on this stuff and prove value? These were the most frequent questions I got at the 2022 EAGx Boston conference. I mainly discussed this with undergraduate students, but also with people at career pivot points.[1] My overall view, epistemic basis/confidence, key points Main ‘pros': Much of EA is based in economics, and economics speaks to most of the important cause areas and debates in EA, as well as to the important empirical questions. Conditional on going for a PhD, I believe economics will be one of the stronger choices for the sort of people reading this post. A PhD in economics, and much of the associated training (over ~2 years of coursework and ~3-5 years of ‘writing') helps you towards a range of career paths with potential for strong impact (and a comfortable life) both within and outside EA organizations. Being a PhD student in the right place and time (and mental state) can be very stimulating, productive, creative, and connection-building.[2] You are typically given a lot of freedom in the research phase, as long as your work meets the general approval and framework of your advisor(s) and what the gatekeepers think is important, credible and ‘is economics'. Typically, you don't have to pay for a PhD, you will get money to support yourself, and PhD stipends are often OK. Important considerations: Economics is broad (in its methods and focus-area paths). Often differences in approaches among economists (pure theory, applied econometrics, macro, etc.) are greater than the difference between some economists and some (e.g.) political scientists or psychologists. Important impact paths that an economics PhD may help with include: Applied work ‘informed by expertise and credibility', Deep work formally/mathematically addressing fundamental questions of global priorities and social welfare, Theoretical, computational, and empirical work considering markets and/or the global economy, informing (e.g.) animal welfare policies or the development of technology, Empirical work assessing the impact of interventions, or considering assessing human behavior, choices, attitudes and preferences. There are a range of relevant career paths Academia and academically-leaning think-tanks; doing EA-relevant research as well as potentially transforming academia and the scholarly debate ‘from the inside', Working in governments or NGOs (many require/prefer PhDs), Working at EA-aligned organizations like Rethink Priorities, Global Priorities Institute, Open Philanthropy, maybe MIRI . note a lot of differences across these, For-profit and entrepreneurial options; possibly impactful for out-of-the-bun thinkers/doers. Main ‘cons and caveats': For many/most paths you could learn most/all of the relevant skills and approaches, and background without getting a PhD,[3] In some key areas economics might not be as strong or relevant as other fields (statistics and data science for robust empirical work and predictions, decision science and cognitive science for AI alignment work), The economics PhD program makes you jump some time-consuming hoops that are likely not going to be relevant to your applied career path,[4] People around you will not mainly be value-aligned; beware value drift towards academic prestige an...

Have you ever heard two different teachings that obviously contradict each other? Like "God remembers our sins no more...until judgment day when they will be brought up against us." This is somewhat confusing - and there's a reason for that! Many things we are taught unfortunately contain a mixture of law and grace. This podcast is based on a fantastic post written by David Moss on the Facebook group Religion Free Fellowship. Join us as we share David's thoughts and ours!

More than a few, in fact. The last one was Ep53 ffs! Blame Dewsbury. Every week on the afternoon show, Dews plays an album in full, chosen by a member of the the PRFam, who then joins him on-air to have a chat about it. This podcast is the recording of those chats, minus the music. In ep60 of the podcast Dews is joined by David Moss of the PRFam to talk about his love of southern rock, why freebird is halfway to being the greatest song ever, and why the quiet benefits of your son's electric drums are completely negated when he gets a full kit. 

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: What questions relevant to EA could be answered by surveying the public?, published by David Moss on January 13, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Examples of questions that have previously been raised on the Forum, which seem like they could be answered (or significantly informed) by surveys of the general public include: Should we rebrand "effective altruism"? How do people respond to the term "effective altruism"? How many people in different populations have heard of "effective altruism"? Are younger people more future-oriented (or longtermist)? How does receptiveness to effective altruism vary with age? Are high school students more or less receptive to EA than undergraduates? Note that by referring to "the public" I mostly intend to rule out things like surveying effective altruists or elite policy-makers. I don't intend to rule out things like surveying current students or highly educated young professionals. Surveying graduates of elite universities would be an edge case. Thanks for listening.

The Brother Brothers are rooted in sibling harmony provided by twin brothers Adam and David Moss. Adam Moss would prefer if you didn't get really weird about twin stuff: “We sometimes find being twins a barrier to conversing and getting to know people quickly. It's an easy thing for people to fixate on," he says. Truthfully there is PLENTY to discuss with Adam, who plays several instruments, but started on the violin. His focus was on classical, but he studied Klezmer and sometimes incorporates it into his music. Adam talks about what it means to include his Jewish heritage into his songs. While attending the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, Adam and David started to realize that the classical world was not for them. Adam joined a bluegrass band and eventually moved to Austin, Texas to be closer to the community that surrounded the Kerrville Folk Fest, which was an integral part in his development as a roots player. David also moved to Austin, but the brothers didn't start their project together until they relocated to Brooklyn. There, they discovered they were ready, musically and personally ready, to be in a band together. Originally, The Brother Brothers did not write together, but this is something that has changed with their new record, Calle Lily. Adam talks about writing with David has impacted his process. The album is filled with comfort, warm sincerity and an earnestness that comes off in a very cool and authentic way. I'd definitely describe Adam's temperament as such and get his opinion on that observation as well. If we're not gonna talk about twin stuff, the second most awkward thing you could discuss is how you are as cool as you are. Adam pulls it off great.
