This post is based on a memo I wrote for this year's Meta Coordination Forum. See also Arden Koehler's recent post, which hits a lot of similar notes. Summary The EA movement stands at a crossroads. In light of AI's very rapid progress, and the rise of the AI safety movement, some people view EA as a legacy movement set to fade away; others think we should refocus much more on “classic” cause areas like global health and animal welfare. I argue for a third way: EA should embrace the mission of making the transition to a post-AGI society go well, significantly expanding our cause area focus beyond traditional AI safety. This means working on neglected areas like AI welfare, AI character, AI persuasion and epistemic disruption, human power concentration, space governance, and more (while continuing work on global health, animal welfare, AI safety, and biorisk).

Episode OverviewIn this episode of The Future-Ready Advisor, host Sam Sivarajan sits down with Gary Sinderbrand, a former top-producing advisor turned strategic coach who now helps advisory firms across North America navigate leadership transitions, client continuity, and succession planning challenges.Gary shares his decades of experience on both sides of the advisory business, exploring the looming advisor shortage crisis and what it really takes to build a future-ready practice. From understanding the "motivation gap" among next-generation advisors to redefining client relationships for better outcomes, this conversation is packed with actionable strategies for senior advisors, firms, and emerging talent alike.Whether you're grappling with succession planning, struggling to develop junior advisors, or looking to optimize your practice for long-term success, this episode delivers the insights you need to thrive in an era of increasing complexity.Key Quote"The essence of being a financial advisor is the ability to go create a relationship based on empathy and trust with a perfect stranger in a short period of time. That is a degree you can only get from the school of hard knocks." — Gary SinderbrandKey TakeawaysThe advisor shortage is real and urgent — McKinsey projects a shortfall of up to 100,000 financial advisors by 2034, but many senior advisors remain in denial about succession planning.The "motivation gap" is sabotaging succession — Junior advisors earning high salaries without building their own client relationships lack the resilience and skills needed to take over complex books of business.Client segmentation is critical for growth — Most advisory books follow the same pattern: 40-50 households drive 80% of productivity, while 75% of clients generate only 20% of revenue.Redefining relationships unlocks potential — By transitioning lower-tier clients to junior advisors under a fee-based model, senior advisors can focus on high-value work while developing next-generation talent.Opportunity costs are often invisible — Neglected clients don't just cost time and energy; they actively hurt referral potential and can damage your reputation in the community.Sound Bites"Most of the firms out there have lost focus as to how to really develop that next generation.""You don't know what it's costing you — the opportunity cost of not serving clients properly.""If you don't get it done or figure out a way to get it done, you're not going to be there. The failure rate is 80%.""Question your own conclusions. Even when you're absolutely certain you've got it all laid out, back away and rethink it.""Your job is to absorb the news that's out there, but understand what's not being written as well."Topics Discussed01:34 — Gary's Journey: From Top Producer to Strategic Coach05:29 — The McKinsey Report: Understanding the Advisor Shortage Crisis10:54 — The Motivation Gap: Why Traditional Succession Models Fail15:21 — Client Segmentation: The 80/20 Rule in Advisory Practices22:00 — Redefining Client Relationships for Succession Success27:42 — The Hidden Opportunity Costs of Neglected Client Relationships34:10 — Balancing Rising Client Expectations with Operational Reality38:01 — Building Reciprocal Referral Relationships That Actually Work44:04 — Rapid-Fire Round: Professional Lessons and Practical TipsResources...

It happens to all of us: you leave an interaction and realize the conversation was all about the other person. They didn't ask a thing about you. Today's episode is about feeling ignored in conversations with friends. In these situations, it's easy to play the blame game, but the truth is, we are all responsible for our half of the connection.What do you say when a friend asks how you're doing? Do you say “good” or “fine?” Or do you give an honest answer? How hard do we expect friends to work to extract information from us? Here's my challenge to you: in your next hangout, don't deflect a question. Throw something out there you've never shared before. These details enrich relationships. Remember, your friends want to know you. Trust this, and take up a little space.In this episode you'll hear about:Why sharing the silly details matter: they help open up conversations and allow your friends to know you betterThe importance of BOTH parties in the relationship contributing to a conversation; don't deflect questions or give generic answers!Common concerns about not wanting to dominate the conversation (or share TOO much information)How I navigate not feeling left out when I'm in a conversation with people who share common interests with each other (but not with me)Resources & LinksListen to Episode 12 about emotional intimacy roots.Like what you hear?

RT Williams (1883-1946) was a minister and general superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene. Born in Texas, he became a minister in 1908 and later served as president of Texas Holiness University. He was the youngest person to be elected general superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene at age 33 and served in that role from 1916 until his death in 1946.    "An appreication by BF Haynes Dr. Williams has done the disciples of our Lord a distinct service in giving in printed form this dissertation on "Temptation." He enters the arena of the daily struggles of the believer and helps him along the most practical and needy lines of his life. Strange indeed that Temptation should ever have become a neglected theme, but it is true, as the author suggests. We admire the clear and logical and discriminating way in which the subject is treated in these pages."   This article was accessed on The Wesley Center Online, which is a collection of historical and scholarly resources about the Wesleyan Tradition, theology, Christianity, and the Nazarene church hosted by the Wesley Center for Applied Theology at Northwest Nazarene University.

As we continue our intensive study of the New Testament book of Colossians, this week we come to a passage where Paul paints a vivid picture of the positive values we're called to embrace as followers of Jesus. Paul's list includes some very familiar values -- the kind you'd expect. But it also identifies three values that are seldom discussed, yet critically important. This Sunday we'll explore those three critical values.

We're running out of time . We're Always running out of times. Haven't eaten; Kesha—Birkin— Sorry, Conan, Haven't pondered (Fight!) There you are; Equinox mornings Getting lost (Fun) Doesn't shove Croissants down the throat As long as I'm on the island (What?) Long day; Never money Haven't got a (Cat!) Sanctuary (doves) Jimmy Fallon? Never found him (What?) Pools of blood, Nevermind that. I was so sick the night before, Even in my sleep that I thought to call out. But no, “I don't skip freaky friday.” I hadn't yet, and so my streak was valid, but I felt like shit, and despite my sponsorship I didn't feel I had any interest in DJing at all. The apertment was a mess, and though I'd spent the day before for hours cleaning in all the crevices the cat found that I hadn't, it still wasn't perfect— then, why would I try to make it perfect on the brink of eviction with the dread and depression that came with the noise? I wanted to fucking die, and the long hours not spent sorting through my hard drives were instead spent watching Saturday night live and funneling popped corn into my mouth, because indeed— I was actually, finally, chrnically depressed. It could be written off as some coincidence or extreme city noise, but I knew in my heart it was instead asassination, the apartment was a trap and I'd been set up to be weakened enough to eventually either kill myself, or back to homelessness to die. The least thing I was interested in was music, and apparently, though I'd had thousands of dollars somewhere in unclaimed royalties , I couldn't seem to find my EIN— the business tax ID I needed to file papers, because I didn't use it often enough; I didn't file taxes, because I wasn't making money. (At least, I'd thought I hadn't.) I couldn't even remember which subway stop was the correct one; and I knew with this I must have been coming to the end of my time in New York; everything seemed strange and faraway, as if I were in a dream. L E G E N D S: ICONS {Enter The Multiverse} He's heaven But i'm probably his headache What's a medical assessment to lemon merengue And I wish to that same heaven that we're all as sick As what's disturbed to be described by Highest our physicians can abide Just the though of him, The whispers of prolific; Just the sight, I get to writing thoughts As if the words were mine, But still, The caves of wells kept secret, Pure and water like the thoughts, Are just the parallels od subtle secrets Kept inside a box This could be mine, Dammit, a glimpse— Who are I? Caught in a wince with the glimpse of a notion And putting out fires— Who are I? You call? In the midsts of a morning, Worlds over, Neglected, No former recognition, but Who are you for?

Nearly 50 years ago, a Seattle juvenile court judge came up with the idea of using trained volunteers to appear in court to speak on behalf of abused and neglected children as a way to get more information about their individual cases. Today, nearly a thousand local Court Appointed Special Advocate programs exist in 49 states, including Oregon. CASA volunteers provide the court with regular updates about a child’s particular case and make recommendations about their placement, informed through monthly visits with the child and discussions with their teachers, counselors and others involved in their welfare.   But meeting the growing need for CASAs in Oregon and the rest of the nation is getting tougher. In April, the national CASA organization announced the termination of federal grants totaling millions of dollars which would have been disbursed to state and local CASA programs. That’s in addition to the loss of a $1.7 million federal community project grant earmarked for Oregon’s 19 local CASA programs.    Joining us to share their experiences are Amy Muñoz, who has been serving Jackson County as a CASA volunteer for seven years, and Rachel Robb, who was sworn in as a CASA volunteer serving  Malheur County in January.

Stefan Collini, FBA. Professor Emeritus of Intellectual History and English Literature, University of Cambridge.The Donald Winch Lectures in Intellectual History. University of St Andrews. 11th, 12th & 13th October 2022. In the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, universities expanded to include a wide range of what came to be regarded as academic ‘disciplines'. In Britain, the study of ‘English literature' was eventually to become one of the biggest and most popular of these subjects, yet it was in some ways an awkward fit: not obviously susceptible to the ‘scientific' treatment considered the hallmark of a scholarly discipline, it aroused a kind of existential commitment in many of those who taught and studied it. These lectures explore some of the ways in which these tensions worked themselves out in the last two hundred years, drawing on a wide range of sources to understand the aspirations invested in the subject, the resistance that it constantly encountered, and the distinctive forms of enquiry that came to define it. In so doing, they raise larger questions about the changing character of universities, the peculiar cultural standing of ‘literature', and the conflicting social expectations that societies have entertained towards higher education and specialized scholarship.Handout.1. ‘Neglected and despised as it is in comparison with its favoured competitor, how far more does it deserve the notice bestowed on her. It is not partial in its cultivation of the intellect, but tends at once to correct the taste, to strengthen the judgement, to instruct us in the wisdom of men better and wiser than ourselves, to exercise the reasoning faculties on subjects which demand and deserve their attention, and to show them the boundaries imposed on them by Providence. It is literature which fits and prepares us best of all for the examination of those moral and intellectual truths, which are not only the worthiest exercise of our reason, but most concern our future destiny.'2. ‘The teaching of English literature will contribute to the formation of sound conclusions on social and political questions; to right feeling and right thinking in all that appertains to morality and religion; to largeness, to sanity, to elevation, to refinement in judgement, taste and sentiment, to all, in short, which constitutes in the proper sense of the term the education of the British citizen.'3. ‘By the humanizing power of literature we mean the development of the higher faculties, the imagination, the sense of beauty and the intellectual comprehension, clear vision, mental harmony, a just sense of proportion, higher illumination.'4. ‘In all my Lectures, more particularly when treating upon that glorious and inexhaustible subject, the LITERATURE of our country - I shall esteem it my duty - and I trust I shall find it my delight - to inculcate lessons of virtue, through the medium of the masters of our language.'5. ‘A chief burden in maintaining and keeping uppermost the spiritual element in man must rest, for a variety of reasons, more upon the teaching of English and English literature than upon any other subject.'6. ‘The value of critical training, and of the various methods of study that I have touched upon, is simply that they educate our power of appreciation and make it possible for us to enter into the life and meaning of the highest poetry. Without some such mental discipline we shall always be in danger of accepting the second-rate for a masterpiece, and shall either be content with this shallower outlet for our emotions or be inclined to dispute the power of art to satisfy us at all. But if we submit our taste for poetry to education, the highest in ourselves will be drawn out to meet what is highest in the great artist: we shall realize our kinship with him and participate in his vision.'

Ryan Greenblatt — lead author on the explosive paper “Alignment faking in large language models” and chief scientist at Redwood Research — thinks there's a 25% chance that within four years, AI will be able to do everything needed to run an AI company, from writing code to designing experiments to making strategic and business decisions.As Ryan lays out, AI models are “marching through the human regime”: systems that could handle five-minute tasks two years ago now tackle 90-minute projects. Double that a few more times and we may be automating full jobs rather than just parts of them.Will setting AI to improve itself lead to an explosive positive feedback loop? Maybe, but maybe not.The explosive scenario: Once you've automated your AI company, you could have the equivalent of 20,000 top researchers, each working 50 times faster than humans with total focus. “You have your AIs, they do a bunch of algorithmic research, they train a new AI, that new AI is smarter and better and more efficient… that new AI does even faster algorithmic research.” In this world, we could see years of AI progress compressed into months or even weeks.With AIs now doing all of the work of programming their successors and blowing past the human level, Ryan thinks it would be fairly straightforward for them to take over and disempower humanity, if they thought doing so would better achieve their goals. In the interview he lays out the four most likely approaches for them to take.The linear progress scenario: You automate your company but progress barely accelerates. Why? Multiple reasons, but the most likely is “it could just be that AI R&D research bottlenecks extremely hard on compute.” You've got brilliant AI researchers, but they're all waiting for experiments to run on the same limited set of chips, so can only make modest progress.Ryan's median guess splits the difference: perhaps a 20x acceleration that lasts for a few months or years. Transformative, but less extreme than some in the AI companies imagine.And his 25th percentile case? Progress “just barely faster” than before. All that automation, and all you've been able to do is keep pace.Unfortunately the data we can observe today is so limited that it leaves us with vast error bars. “We're extrapolating from a regime that we don't even understand to a wildly different regime,” Ryan believes, “so no one knows.”But that huge uncertainty means the explosive growth scenario is a plausible one — and the companies building these systems are spending tens of billions to try to make it happen.In this extensive interview, Ryan elaborates on the above and the policy and technical response necessary to insure us against the possibility that they succeed — a scenario society has barely begun to prepare for.Summary, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/rg25Recorded February 21, 2025.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's Ryan Greenblatt?

The post Singleness in the Church: Have We Neglected the Unmarried? appeared first on Straight Truth Podcast.

This episode explores the biblical view of singleness, challenging the cultural assumption that marriage is the superior or expected path for every believer. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7 and creation principles, Pastor Caldwell shows that both marriage and singleness are God-ordained callings. The discussion offers counsel for those struggling with loneliness, purity, and contentment, while also addressing the church's responsibility to affirm and support single believers. A Christ-centered, eternity-focused view is essential for all seasons of life.

Do you feel stuck, dry, or disconnected in your prayer life—and don't know why? In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree sit down with Jeremy Linneman, pastor and author of Pour Out Your Heart: Discovering Joy, Strength, and Intimacy with God through Prayer, to uncover the forgotten prayer practices that the modern church has left behind—and why we desperately need to recover them.Jeremy shares how his own church became a praying church, and how practices like lament, praying the Psalms, intercessory emotion, and even liturgical prayer have reshaped not only his community, but his own intimacy with God. We also explore how the Western church's pursuit of positivity has stripped prayer of honesty, grief, and depth, leaving believers spiritually malnourished.If your prayer life feels mechanical, emotionless, or shallow—this conversation could change everything.
