EURODOLLAR UNIVERSITY'S SPRING SALE STILL GOING FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, DETAILS AT THE LINK BELOWhttps://www.eurodollar.university/sales-page-springWhat if gold and oil are actually trading on the same outcome? Despite popular misconceptions, a non-economic oil shock like the one we're currently experiencing is NOT inflationary. On the contrary, history shows it will almost certainly be disinflationary because of the negative impact it has on the economy. And if that impact is negative enough, that will lead to sharply lower interest rates - the very factor driving gold to all-time highs.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisBloomberg  The Gold Market Hunts for Answers Behind Bullion's Sudden Surgehttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-07/the-gold-market-hunts-for-answers-behind-bullion-s-sudden-surge?fromMostRead=trueBernanke, Gertler, Stock Systematic Monetary Policy and the Effects of Oil Price Shockshttps://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/1997/01/1997a_bpea_bernanke_gertler_watson_sims_friedman.pdfhttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.We've struck a brand-new panel for today's pod that is going to be a rich conversation. 3 Presidents from 3 Canadian Universities are joining me to have a high-level conversation about: the purpose of a University.From there, we'll flow into issues of: Funding and accessibility … How the curriculum has changed in the last 35 years … How students learn about Western Civilization in a very different way than I did … The research function of Universities and how that fits into Canada's efforts to spur innovation and productivity growth.Each of our Presidents' CVs is long and accomplished, so I'll just apologize in advance for my brevity here.Let's welcome Meric Gertler, from The University of Toronto. Meric is the 16th President of the University. Prior to that, he served as Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Science, where he championed important innovations in undergraduate teaching and learning.   He's authored or edited 9 book and advised governments in Canada, the U.S., Singapore and Europe as well as the OECD and European Union.Peter Stoicheff is here, President and Vice-Chancellor of my alma mater, The University of Saskatchewan.

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 to Speedrun a New Drug Application (Interview with Alvea's former CEO), published by Aaron Gertler on March 3, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I've been enjoying the newsletter of Santi Ruiz (Institute for Progress), who covers stories about achieving policy goals and other forms of progress. I found this to cover some ground that wasn't present in the Alvea postmortem. Excerpts The caricature is that the FDA is the enemy of progress, medical regulators are the enemy of progress, and they're slowing everything down. On reflection, I don't agree with that take, and our experience doesn't really support it [...] In drug development especially, making a thing that is plausibly good is much, much easier than making something that is actually, reliably, very good. Deploying drugs to scale requires that reliability. It's a very hard socio-technical problem. All the different kinds of regulatory requirements, quality management, quality control, etc., that could be naively identified as red tape or boring paperwork that slow down the innovators are actually there to achieve that reliability. Of course, when you get into the details, there are tons of ways this could be done more efficiently. But the fact that validation, testing, and ensuring that things are as they seem is 90% of the process is just the way the world works, not any fault of the regulators. When you work with any vendor for a pharmaceutical company, almost everybody requires an NDA to be signed. This by itself can eat up to two weeks of time on both ends of this transaction. We had automated this NDA signing process so that it would usually happen in hours. Many of our vendors would follow up and tell us how insanely fast this was and how it was the smoothest and fastest contracting experience that they had ever had. Another big pattern is that, for some reason, for a lot of these key processes that really move the needle on speed, the standard operating procedure for the industry is to talk to maybe three to five different vendors, compare them across a bunch of categories, and then pick one and go forward with them. That never seemed to work for us. We would approach it by finding every single vendor in the world who does the thing that we need done, finding the best people, and then going in and very closely redesigning and managing their process for maximum speed. Practically, this involves parallelization and then bottleneck hunting in the vendor's process to identify ways to make it faster. A good example of that was the manufacturing of the drug itself, of the DNA plasmid that was our vaccine's main active component. Our initial quotes from the first few vendors were like two years. "It takes two years. There is no way around that. This is just how long it takes." Then we found some folks who said, "It's going to be hard, but we can do it in a year." Then, once we have come in and looked at it deeply and redesigned it in collaboration with these folks, we ended up doing it in just over two months if memory serves. Thanks for listening.

Land Use Reform Open Philanthropy has been making grants in land use reform since 2015. We believe that more permissive permitting and policy will encourage economic growth and allow people to access higher-paying jobs. However, we have a lot of uncertainty about which laws or policies would be most impactful (or neglected/tractable relative to their impact) on housing production. What are the legal changes that appear to spur the most housing? E.g. can we estimate the effects of removing parking mandates on housing production? How do those compare to the effects of higher FAR or more allowable units? Why we care: We think that permitting speed might be an important category to target, but have high uncertainty about this. What we know: There are a number of different studies of the effects of changes in zoning/land use laws (e.g. see a summary here in Appendix A), but we're not aware of studies that attempt to disentangle any specific changes or rank their importance. We suspect that talking to advocates (e.g. CA YIMBY) would be useful as a starting point. Ideas for studying this: It seems unlikely that there have been "clean" changes that only affected a single part of the construction process, but from talking to advocates, it seems plausible that it would be possible to identify changes to zoning codes that primarily affect one parameter more than others. It also seems plausible that this is a topic where a systematic review, combining evidence from many other studies, would be unusually valuable. What is the elasticity of construction with regards to factors like "the likelihood of acquiring permission to build" or "the length of an average permitting delay"? Why we care: We are highly uncertain about how to best encourage more construction, and thus about where to target our grants. What we know: there have been many recent changes to permitting requirements, such as the California ADU law that requires cities to respond to permit requests within 60 days and a new law in Florida that requires cities to respond to permit requests quickly or return permitting fees. This blog post by Dan Bertolet at Sightline predates those changes, but is the best summary we've seen on the impacts of permitting requirements. Ideas for studying this: one might compare projects that fall right below or above thresholds for permitting review (e.g. SEPA thresholds in Washington state), and try to understand how much extra delay projects faced as a result of qualifying for review. It could also be valuable to analyze the effects of the Florida law (e.g. a difference-in-difference design looking at housing construction in places that had long delays vs. short delays prior to the law passing). Does the value of new housing (in terms of individual earnings gains ...

New franchise alert! Two movies in one episode? Can it be done? Turns out, yes it can, quite easily. After some unforeseen issues and delays we've decided to truncate our Hunger Games series into 3 episodes so as not to mess with our extremely tight and rigid schedule. And if you have a problem with that go fly a kite and also go fuck yourself.Joining us to talk all things Hunger Games this week is special guest Will Gertler... will he survive the whole episode... or will he be sacrificed around 30 minutes in? You'll have to listen to find out!The lads have been dreading this series. It's YA fiction babyshit, right? Not for cool adult cinephiles. Surely there isn't much here to like... or is there? Does Hollywood Hack Gary Ross have the juice? Or is he juiceless and Other Hollywood Hack Francis Lawrence have what it takes? These fascinating questions (and more) will be answered.Friend of the pod Mary Jane suggested this series and she will be joining us next week for our mega double special Mockingjay episode. See you then!

On this episode, I spoke to producer Howard Gertler about his prolific career.  Gertler is a 2x Oscar nominee for his work on How to Survive a Plague and All the Beauty and the Bloodshed.  In 2007, Gertler won the Producers Award for the Film Independent Spirit Awards.

Welcome to the John Schultz podcast! In today's episode, we kick off season two with our special guest, Mr. Eric Gertler, the current Chairman, Executive Chairman, and CEO of US News and World Report. Eric passionately discusses the company's dedication to objective journalism and the significance of rankings in empowering consumers' informed decisions while upholding trust and ethical principles in journalism. Eric's illustrious career includes impactful public service work in New York City and New York State, emphasizing the role of government and leadership during crises like COVID-19. Raised in Montreal, Canada, Eric's diverse upbringing influenced his worldview, shaped by a blend of sports and literature and a multicultural environment during political uncertainty. Deeply influenced by his upbringing in Montreal, Canada, Eric attributes his unique worldview to his formative years. Growing up in a middle-class family with parents of diverse interests, he was exposed to a vibrant blend of sports and literature, igniting his early passions. Quebec's multicultural and multilingual environment during a time of political uncertainty further shaped his perspective on society and evoked a sense of awareness and concern. At the core of Eric's character lies an unwavering belief in the significance of continuous learning, and he fondly credits his parents for being pivotal figures in his life. His father instilled in him a relentless work ethic and encouraged him to envision his future. At the same time, his mother, a librarian, sparked his curiosity and exposed him to the riches of literature, culture, and exploration. These profound experiences have undoubtedly contributed to shaping Eric into the well-rounded individual he is today. Passionately delving into US News and World Report, Eric stresses the crucial significance of upholding trust and objectivity in journalism amidst AI advancements. The company aims to empower consumers further and enhance the user journey in critical areas like education, finance, and health. Eric's journey from his childhood in Montreal to his current leadership role at US News and World Report is a testament to hard work, learning, and adaptability. As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of media and technology, Eric's commitment to trust and objectivity serves as a guiding principle for the future.

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: Rethinking the Liberation Pledge (Eva Hamer), published by Aaron Gertler on September 3, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This article is a really interesting example of people in a prosocial movement trying radical tactics and eventually changing their minds. I'm not sure there's any one lesson here that the average Forum reader would need to learn; I'm just crossposting because I enjoyed it. See parts two and three for how the Pledge has evolved. The Failure of the Pledge and a Better Way Towards Vegan Tables In 2015, animal advocates with Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) launched an inspired new campaign among their members. It took courage, required sacrifice, and greatly backfired. This three-part series examines what the movement learned from the Liberation Pledge, how we might energize the intention behind the Pledge in a better way, and a piece to share with friends and family to do just that. What We Learned From the Liberation Pledge How It Started The Liberation Pledge was a fascinating idea and a bit of a disaster. Instead of energizing supporters' social networks to create change, as its creators intended, it often had the opposite effect- to isolate advocates from their closest relationships. In this piece, you'll learn What it was Why it was a good idea Why it failed The next piece in this series suggests a better way to energize the intention behind the pledge, for animal advocates to align their actions with their values in their personal relationships. The Liberation Pledge was a three-part public pledge to live vegan, refuse to sit at tables where animals' bodies are being eaten, and encourage others to do the same. Enthusiasts of the pledge hoped it would create a cultural stigma around eating animals similar to the stigma that has developed around smoking over recent decades. That is, even while smoking is still practiced, it is prohibited by default in public and private spaces. Before we had the Pledge, many of us felt alienated from friends and family who continued to eat animals. We were forced to choose between two options: speaking up and risking being seen as obnoxious, angry, and argumentative, or keeping the peace with painful inauthenticity, swallowing our intense discomfort at watching our loved ones eat the bodies of animals. The pledge gave us hope that there was another way: being honest with those around us while continuing to spend time with them. And, on a larger scale, we hoped that if we all joined together, we could create a world where eating meat is stigmatized: a world where someone would ask, "Does anyone mind if I get the steak?" before making an order at a restaurant (or maybe even one in which restaurants would think twice before putting someone's body on the menu). Some people took it a step further, arguing it was immoral not to take the pledge, saying, "You wouldn't sit quietly eating your vegan option while a dog or a child was being eaten, would you?" According to this view, it was our duty not to sit idly by while violence was committed in our presence. While some beautiful and inspiring stories were detailed on a Facebook group for the Pledge, it seemed to me that there were many more instances of total disaster: people experiencing huge ruptures in their oldest relationships around the Pledge while often lamenting that those they had just discarded "care more about eating dead animals than they care about me." From where I stood, the biggest effect of the Pledge was for advocates to lose relationships with family members who didn't comply. Upon taking the Pledge, a close friend at the time experienced a years-long estrangement from their family, including those who were already vegan while many others decided to skip birthdays, weddings, and holidays with family. It's possible that all of this added stigma ar...

Welcome back! 7 long years have passed since TMNT (2007) graced the big screen. Hundreds of people hard at work, scripting, planning, crafting, animating... and this is what they came up with. This week we're talking about the monstrous Michael Bay-produced series reboot from 2014 and we have a very special guest who eagle-eared listeners may recognize from podcast lore: Will Gertler, aka Will the fact checker, aka Will Nye the Science Guy.Will has never seen a piece of Ninja Turtles media before, so we thought this was a great opportunity to introduce him to the turts in the worst way possible. As is often the case we go on many digressions throughout, including Will's love of Will Smith and the product placement in I, Robot, another celebrity encounter from Ben's past, and a discussion of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer from the perspective of an actual scientist. This one is lots of fun and we'll hopefully be having Will back soon for a full bonus Oppenheimer episode! Join Alex and Ben next week for the supposedly superior sequel to this reboot: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows!

Formerly known as "Aaron's Epistemic Stories", which stops working as a title when it's on the Forum and people aren't required to read it.What is this post?A story about how I reacted poorly to my first few EA job rejections, and what I learned from reflecting on my mistakes.Context: When I worked at CEA, my colleague was working on EA Virtual Program curricula. She asked me to respond to this prompt:"What made you start caring about having good epistemics? What made you start trying to improve your epistemics? Why?"I wrote a meandering, stream-of-consciousness response and shared it. I assumed it would either be ignored or briefly summarized as part of a larger piece. Instead, it — went directly to the curriculum for the In-Depth Program?That was a surprise.[1] It was a much bigger surprise when people started reaching out to tell me how much it had helped them: maybe a dozen times over the last two years. From the emails alone, it seems to be the most important thing I've written.[2]So I'm sharing a lightly edited version on the Forum, in case it helps anyone else. Recovering from rejectionAfter I graduated from college, I took the most profitable job I could find, at a company in a cheap city. I wanted to save money so I could be flexible later. So far, so good.I started an EA group at the company, which kept me thinking about effective altruism on a regular basis even without my college group. It wasn't nearly as fun to run as the college group — people who work full-time jobs don't like extra meetings, and my co-organizers kept getting other jobs and leaving. But I still felt like “part of EA”.Eventually, I decided to move on from the company. So I applied to GiveWell, got to the very last step of the application process… and got rejected.Well, I thought, I guess it makes sense that I'm not qualified for an EA job. My grades weren't great, and I was never a big researcher in college. Time to do something else.(This is a story about a mistake. Do you see it?)I moved to San Diego and spent the next 18 months as a freelance tutor and writer, feeling generally dissatisfied with my life.

Share feedback on this narration.

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: Recovering from Rejection (written for the In-Depth EA Program), published by Aaron Gertler on July 3, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Formerly known as "Aaron's Epistemic Stories", which stops working as a title when it's on the Forum and people aren't required to read it. What is this post? A story about how I reacted poorly to my first few EA job rejections, and what I learned from reflecting on my mistakes. Context: When I worked at CEA, my colleague was working on EA Virtual Program curricula. She asked me to respond to this prompt: "What made you start caring about having good epistemics? What made you start trying to improve your epistemics? Why?" I wrote a meandering, stream-of-consciousness response and shared it. I assumed it would either be ignored or briefly summarized as part of a larger piece. Instead, it — went directly to the curriculum for the In-Depth Program? That was a surprise. It was a much bigger surprise when people started reaching out to tell me how much it had helped them: maybe a dozen times over the last two years. From the emails alone, it seems to be the most important thing I've written. So I'm sharing a lightly edited version on the Forum, in case it helps anyone else. Recovering from rejection Written in a bit of a rush. But I think that captures how it felt to be me in the throes of epistemic upheaval. After I graduated from college, I took the most profitable job I could find, at a company in a cheap city. I wanted to save money so I could be flexible later. So far, so good. I started an EA group at the company, which kept me thinking about effective altruism on a regular basis even without my college group. It wasn't nearly as fun to run as the college group — people who work full-time jobs don't like extra meetings, and my co-organizers kept getting other jobs and leaving. But I still felt like “part of EA”. Eventually, I decided to move on from the company. So I applied to GiveWell, got to the very last step of the application process. and got rejected. Well, I thought, I guess it makes sense that I'm not qualified for an EA job. My grades weren't great, and I was never a big researcher in college. Time to do something else. This is a story about a mistake. Do you see it? I moved to San Diego and spent the next 18 months as a freelance tutor and writer, feeling generally dissatisfied with my life. My local group met rarely and far away; I had no car, I was busy with family stuff, and I became less and less engaged with EA. Through an old connection, I was introduced to a couple who ran an EA-aligned foundation and lived nearby. I ended up doing part-time operations work for them — reading papers, emailing charities with questions, and other EA-flavored stuff. This boosted my confidence and led me to think harder about my career, though I kept running into limitations. For example, GiveDirectly's CEO wanted to hire a research assistant for his lab at UCSD, but I'd totally forgotten my old R classes and wasn't a good candidate, despite having a great connection from my operations work. There goes maybe the best opportunity I'll ever get as a washed-up 24-year-old. Sigh. In early 2018, I got an email from someone at Open Philanthropy, inviting me to apply for a new research position. I was excited by the sudden opportunity and threw everything I had into the process. I made it to the last step. and got rejected. Well, I thought, I guess it makes sense that I'm still not qualified for an EA job. I'm not a kid with limitless potential anymore. I haven't learned anything important since college. I guess it's back to finding a coding bootcamp and trying to get a “real job”. Is the mistake standing out yet? This was a major setback; for a while, I was barely engaged in EA. But I did happen to see an 80,000 Hours page with a survey...

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: Life in a Day: The film that opened my heart to effective altruism, published by Aaron Gertler on April 27, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. There are at least two kinds of "EA origin story": Some people discover it for themselves. They have EA-flavored goals, they Google something like "do the most good", and they find EA. Other people are introduced by others. They have EA-flavored goals, but they don't find EA until someone tells them about it. My story is the second kind. I saw Peter Singer give a talk, which I attended because I'd read GiveWell's website, which I'd seen on LessWrong, which I heard about from Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. So I owe part of my ethical system to the guy who heard me discussing Harry Potter in a college dining hall, interrupted my conversation, gave me a five-minute pitch for HPMOR, and left. (I never saw him again.) But what about the rest of the story? Peter Singer convinced me to join Giving What We Can and earn to give after college. Hundreds of other people watched the same talk, in the same auditorium, and didn't do those things. There must be some other factor that made me especially receptive to EA (that is, gave me "EA-flavored goals"). Of course, there are actually dozens of factors, because life is complicated. For example: I speak English, and live in a country that had EA presence early on. My parents are empathetic people who shaped me into an empathetic person. My parents are financially secure people who didn't need my support, so I could easily afford to give 10% of my income. I went to the kind of college where Peter Singer gives talks and students advertise HPMOR to total strangers. I saw a movie called Life in a Day. These are hard to replicate, except the last one, which anyone can do right now: The English (foreign language) subtitles seem broken, but English (full text) works. How the film works YouTube decided to make a documentary. They asked people to film themselves on July 24th, 2010, and share the footage. They received 80,000 submissions and 4500 hours of film from 192 countries. They used it to make a 90-minute film about life on Earth. We start and end at midnight. For each part of the day, we jump around the world to see what people are doing. Because people are similar, we see similar actions, in parallel. For example, the sun comes up eight minutes into the movie. For the next 90 seconds, we watch people wake up. Some have alarms; some have roosters; some rise with the sun. Some are woken up by parents or lovers. Others wake up alone. One person sleeps on the street and wakes to the passing of cars. Everyone is different. But we all wake up. Submitters also had the option to answer questions: "What do you love? What do you fear? What do you have in your pockets or handbag?" We get three minutes of fear (ten for love). People are afraid of ghosts, spiders, lions, and small noises in the middle of the night. They are afraid of God, Hell, and people different from themselves. They are afraid of losing childhood, losing their hair, and losing the people they love. We are all afraid of something. This is what Life in a Day shows, over and over: In so many ways, we are the same. What the film did to me This isn't a new idea. You can hear echoes of it in the Golden Rule, "all men are created equal", and "workers of the world, unite!". But I didn't really feel the idea until I saw Life in a Day, which conveys it more powerfully than anything else I've ever seen. I felt strange on the drive home; I could no longer look at the world in the same way. When I later heard about a philosophy that was dedicated to helping people as much as possible, no matter where they lived, it struck a chord. Without Life in a Day, I'm not sure I'd have felt the same deep sense of "yes, this is obviously righ...

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: No Silver Bullet Solutions for the Werewolf Crisis, published by Aaron Gertler on February 9, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Reposted here with permission from the original author, Lars Doucet. Mark Coopersmith gaveled the town meeting to order. “Ladies and Gentlemen, what are we going to do about the werewolf crisis? Every full moon, this town is attacked by invincible supernatural werewolves that murder people and then eat them.” A few hands went up. “Yes, Trevor Farrier, in the front row–what do you suggest?” “We have to improve our emergency response. If the paramedics can get to the scene fast enough after a werewolf attack, we can save some of the people the werewolves have left for dead before they bleed out.” “Excellent idea, Trevor. Who else?” More hands went up. “Yes, Rachel Miller. What have you got for us?” “We need more werewolf victim assistance programs. Werewolves make a lot of mess after they murder someone and then eat them, and it can be a real economic burden for the survivors to pay all the funeral and cleanup expenses by themselves.” “Good idea Rachel, but what if some of this assistance goes to rich families who should already be able to afford it?” asked Mark. “And what if some of the poorer families spend their assistance money on frivolous comforts?” “Well obviously, werewolf victim assistance needs to be means-tested and closely regulated. After somebody's family has been murdered and then eaten by werewolves, we'll ask them to sign a bunch of forms, provide proof of income, as well as character references to make sure they're sufficiently deserving of assistance. And naturally, we'll hire a team of officials who work full time scrutinizing recipients' spending to make sure there's no financial waste in the system.” "Thanks Rachel. Very sensible. Any other ideas? Fred." “Thank you,” said Fred Planter. “Werewolves are at root a supply issue–the supply of wolfsbane, namely. Studies have consistently shown that werewolves are somewhat repelled by the smell of wolfsbane, and the plant has a lot other beneficial uses as well. Unfortunately, the damn NWIMBYs that run this place won't let us grow or store any. This kind of smart, stockable, mixed-use herbalism is illegal to grow in most Transylvanian towns!” “Wolfsbane is a disgusting, poisonous weed!” squealed Karen Piper. “It ruins the neighborhood character! No Wolfsbane in My Back Yard!” Fred glared at her and shot back: “Easy for you to say, Karen–you literally live in a castle you inherited from your father, complete with 40-foot unscalable walls. When was the last time you lost a loved one to a werewolf?” “You're a shill for herb developers!” piped back Karen. Mark banged the gavel for order. “That's enough of that. Let's hear from someone else.” One hand remained. “Okay, Larry Smith. Let's hear it.” “Wolfsbane's a good idea and we should do it. But it won't solve the root problem by itself, for that we need to get at the heart of the matter, literally: let's shoot the werewolves with silver bullets.” Mark rolled his eyes. “Look, there are no silver bullet solutions to the werewolf crisis.” “Yes there are,” protested Larry. “Silver bullets are the silver bullet solution. Lycanthrobiologists have repeatedly demonstrated that werewolf physiology is extremely susceptible to high velocity projectiles made of silver.” “We don't need theories, we need evidence.” “I've got your evidence right here,” said Larry, pulling out a stack of research papers. “A recent meta-analysis by Van Helsing, et al shows that households subject to werewolf attacks have highly differentiated mortality rates that strongly vary with defense typology. The highest rate of survivorship occured in home defenders who, in the blind panic of a werewolf attack, happened to stuff their blunderbusses full of silverware bef...

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 can I learn about how DALYs are calculated?, published by Aaron Gertler on June 10, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I recently tried to figure out where DALYs come from. After a bit of searching, the best I could find was this report on the origin of the metric (the first Global Burden of Disease assessment). The report includes this explanation: And: But I'm left with many other questions: How many health workers were consulted? Were people other than health workers consulted, especially people who have themselves experienced the relevant health issues? Were DALY values updated in successive instances of the GBD? Are transcripts of any of these "formal exercises" available somewhere? Ideally, I'd love to find a document/video that covers DALYs in the style of a factory tour video; I want to know what goes into them, who is involved, and what the creation process looks like. Does anyone know of such a resource, and/or the answers to any of my questions? 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: Announcing the launch of Open Phil's new website, published by Aaron Gertler on June 7, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. We just launched a new version of our website! We think the new design will make our content easier to navigate, so that readers have an easier time learning about our work and our thinking. As part of the launch, we've updated language on a number of core pages to better reflect how our work has evolved in the years since our previous website was created. This includes updates to our mission statement, which had been in place since our incubation as a project of GiveWell. The new statement is more concise, and we think it better reflects the breadth of our work: “Our mission is to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us.” Other updates include: The ability to sort and filter much of our published content, including blog posts, research reports, and notable lessons. Statistics on our giving in each of our focus areas. A new page explaining the difference between our two grantmaking portfolios (Global Health & Wellbeing and Longtermism). Pages for our newest focus areas, South Asian Air Quality and Global Aid Policy. If you experience any issues using the new site, or see something you think should be changed, we would appreciate your feedback. Contact webrequests@openphilanthropy.org (or comment on this post) to get in touch. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.

You can also email him with Effective Altruism questions at aaronlgertler@gmail.com.
