Summary.EA Infrastructure Fund (EAIF)[1] has historically had a somewhat scattershot focus within “EA meta.” This makes it difficult for us to know what to optimize for or for donors to evaluate our performanceWe propose that we switch towards focusing our grantmaking on Principles-First EA[2]This includes supporting:research that aids prioritization across different cause areasprojects that build communities focused on impartial, scope sensitive and ambitious altruisminfrastructure, especially epistemic infrastructure, to support these aimsWe hope that the tighter focus area will make it easier for donors and community members to evaluate the EA Infrastructure Fund, and decide for themselves whether EAIF is a good fit to donate to or otherwise supportOur tentative plan is to collect feedback from the community, donors, and stakeholders until the end of this year. Early 2024 will focus on refining our approach and helping ease transition for grantees. We'll begin piloting our new vision in Q2 2024.Introduction and background [...] ---Outline:(01:17) Introduction and background context(04:29) Proposal(05:10) Examples of projects under the new EAIF's purview(06:01) Examples of projects that are outside of the updated scope(06:46) Why focus on Principles-First EA?(08:43) Potential Metrics(10:05) Potential Alternatives for Donors and Grantees(10:52) Tentative Timeline(11:46) Appendices(11:53) Examples of projects that I (Caleb) would be excited for this fund to support(13:00) Scope Assessment of Hypothetical EAIF Applications(15:53) Key ConsiderationsThe original text contained 5 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: December 6th, 2023 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/FnNJfgLgsHdjuMvzH/ea-infrastructure-fund-s-plan-to-focus-on-principles-first --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.
Pastor Greg Laurie delivers a message on spiritual growth from Joshua 14. He reminds us of Caleb, a man who started and ended his spiritual race well! Notes: “What has been the greatest surprise of your life? ‘The brevity of it,”' said Billy Graham. Philippians 3:13–14 Keep moving forward spiritually—the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. “The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.” Psalm 16:6 It doesn't matter if we've held first for the first laps; we must finish! Acts 20:24 Caleb started and finished well, never losing his spiritual edge! We are to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We are to pray that both Palestinians and Jews will come to Christ. Joshua 14:11–12 Where did Caleb get this strength, stamina, and longevity? Read: Joshua 14:7–8 We must wholeheartedly follow the Lord (six times in the Bible we learn that Caleb wholeheartedly followed). The majority group did not see God for who He is, only problems. The minority group (Joshua and Caleb) saw God for who He is, and also saw the obstacles and challenges, but they also saw opportunities and great victories if they would attack. To have spiritual longevity and finish well, you don't follow the crowd. Caleb, who wholeheartedly followed the Lord, had principles … being more concerned with God's approval than mans! To have spiritual longevity, you must take God at His Word! Remember that God's delays are not necessarily His denials. To have spiritual longevity, you must fight to the very end, as the Christian life is one of constant growth and learning. It is taking on new challenges and looking for new opportunities. Spiritual battle rages to the end of your life. “I (Caleb) am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me.” Joshua 14:11 It was the first love Caleb maintained, causing him to not lose his first strength. “Give me this mountain!” Joshua 14:12 Jesus Christ is coming again, so let's be busy doing the Lord's work. We are to remember Jesus at the communion table. 1 Corinthians 11:26 --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

Who knew that something as generic as generosity could transform your marriage? It has the potential to increase marital quality, make conflict resolution easier, increase your own happiness, help you to see other people’s perspectives, decrease divorce risk... Basically, make everything better except for my poor finger... Today, we’re offering some variety! I (Caleb) injured my finger and while it is not exactly life threatening (like such horrors as a man cold), I am not supposed to type. Sooo, this week Verlynda has gone through the research and written up this episode. Wasn’t it just last week we had an iTunes review asking for more input from Verlynda? Well, here you are! Ok, let’s get into the topic of generosity. What Is Generosity? Bear with me while we go through some boring definitions, but they really do lay the foundation for looking at how generosity affects marriage. Marital generosity is defined as "giving good things to one's spouse freely and abundantly[i]". Generosity is considered a "marital virtue": a character trait and personal strength which naturally leads a person to act in ways that are good for the marriage[ii]. More practically speaking, within marriage, generosity can be seen as investing in the relationship with behaviors such as putting your spouse’s needs above your own, and freely giving of your time, effort and energy without any thought of personal gain[iii]. What Effect does Generosity Have on Marriage? I think it’s obvious to say that generosity will have a positive impact on marriage. What I thought was neat though, was it had a positive impact both for the person acting generously and for their spouse. This is a win-win! Generosity often feels good and satisfying personally. It also increases your spouse's happiness and makes them more likely to act generously in return. So even though generosity shouldn't be motivated by personal gain, people do still benefit from it. Here’s a blurb from the research: generosity increases marital satisfaction for both spouses, reduces marital conflict and is negatively correlated with risk of divorce[iv]. These effects are true for both husbands and wives but are normally more pronounced in women. So, who wouldn’t want to add a little more generosity into their repertoire? Generous acts also serve to protect the marriage from stresses such as financial pressure. A study from 2018[v] found that a husband's levels of generosity mediated the link between economic hardship and his wife's levels of marital quality. Here’s something about generosity that I found really interesting. Generosity is related to specific acts that a person does for their spouse, but it is also a state of mind which affects how they see and relate to the world[vi]. Both aspects are important. First, let’s talk about the acts or behaviors, and then we’ll look into the mind piece. Acts of Generosity Here are four key ways that the research[vii] gives to show generosity to one’s spouse. These are: small, everyday acts of kindness expressions of respect displays of affection willingness to forgive These four kinds of generosity were linked to higher marital satisfaction for both spouses, reduced conflict and reduced divorce risk. Generosity and the Love Languages Once again we’ve created a bonus guide for our much appreciated patrons. This week we’re looking at how to practically inject more generosity into your marriage, taking into account the love languages you and your spouse respond best to. If you want to make sure your generosity really hits the mark then you’ll want to pick up this guide. You can get this by becoming a patron of The Marriage Podcast for Smart People. Get the Guide! Household labor! This is another important area that marital generosity impacts. Research from 2012[viii] found a link between generosity and willingness to share household and childcare labor. Deciding to share these jobs fairly (rather than doing them out of obliga...
(redacted), if you're reading this go ask Dan out, he's a nice boy. Oh that's right, I'm using the show notes to embarrass Dan even more than normal. He'll fill you in all about To The Bone and Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later, while I (Caleb) shower praise on The Incredible Jessica James. To top it all off, we have some Dic Picks which continue my progression into madness. We hope you enjoy hearing about it, because I hated watching it.

This week we take a break from our regular format and share with you a talk that Connor had the privelege of giving in a breakout session of a conference our church was hosting this weekend. I (Caleb) think it was fantastic and hard-hitting, and since we were too busy this weekend to record a proper episode anyway (with the conference), I also thought it'd be fun to post this as an episode. We hope you enjoy! :) LINKS:TwitterYouTubeTwitchPatreonCaleb's WebsiteDiscord
In Episode 02 of the Holy Nerdy Podcast, we take a trip back to the 90's and discuss Nickelodeon's Doug and Rugrats TV shows. We reminisce about our favorite episodes of each and I (Caleb) go on a rant about how much I actually dislike Rugrats. Listen as we cry laugh about a Doug moment that is a true classic!!! Enjoy CC
This week, Jarrod and Caleb discuss the political developments of the last week and play with some Electoral College math. Unfortunately, I (Caleb) once again messed up during recording and did not notice a problematic audio flaw in the recording that is resent in the majority of the episode (a constant popping sound). Due to our time constraints, I decided to go ahead and publish the episode. I hope you can still enjoy it, and I am sorry for the problem!
