EA - There are no massive differences in impact between individuals by Sarah Weiler

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: There are no massive differences in impact between individuals, published by Sarah Weiler on March 14, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Or: Why aiming for the tail-end in an imaginary social impact distribution is not the most effective way to do good in the world "It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others." attributed to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, quoted in Tomasik 2014(2017) Summary In this essay, I argue that it is not useful to think about social impact from an individualist standpoint. I claim that there are no massive differences in impact between individual interventions, individual organisations, and individual people, because impact is dispersed across all the actors that contribute to the outcomes before any individual action is taken, all the actors that contribute to the outcomes after any individual action is taken, and all the actors that shape the taking of any individual action in the first place. I raise some concerns around adverse effects of thinking about impact as an attribute that follows a power law distribution and that can be apportioned to individual agents: Such a narrative discourages actions and strategies that I consider highly important, including efforts to maintain and strengthen healthy communities; Such a narrative may encourage disregard for common-sense virtues and moral rules; Such a narrative may negatively affect attitudes and behaviours among elites (who aim for extremely high impact) as well as common people (who see no path to having any meaningful impact); and Such a narrative may disrupt basic notions of moral equality and encourage a differential valuation of human lives in accordance with the impact potential an individual supposedly holds. I then reflect on the sensibility and usefulness of apportioning impact to individual people and interventions in the first place, and I offer a few alternative perspectives to guide our efforts to do good effectively. In the beginning, I give some background on the origin of this essay, and in the end, I list a number of caveats, disclaimers, and uncertainties to paint a fuller picture of my own thinking on the topic. I highly welcome any feedback in response to the essay, and would also be happy to have a longer conversation about any or all of the ideas presented - please do not hesitate to reach out in case you would like to engage in greater depth than a mere Forum comment :)! Context I have developed and refined the ideas in the following paragraphs at least since May 2022 - my first notes specifically on the topic were taken after I listened to Will MacAskill talk about "high-impact opportunities" at the opening session of my first EA Global, London 2022. My thoughts on the topic were mainly sparked by interactions with the effective altruism community (EA), either in direct conversations or through things that I read and listened to over the last few years. However, I have encountered these arguments outside EA as well, among activists, political strategists, and "regular folks" (colleagues, friends, family). My journal contains many scattered notes, attesting to my discomfort and frustration with the - in my view, misguided - belief that a few individuals can (and should) have massive amounts of influence and impact by acting strategically. This text is an attempt to pull these notes together, giving a clear structure to the opposition I feel and turning it into a coherent argument that can be shared with and critiqued by others. Impact follows a power law distribution: The argument as I understand it "[T]he cost-effectiveness distributions of the most effective interventions and policies in education, health and climate change, are close to power-laws [...] the top intervention is 2 or almost 3 orders of magni...

I'm here to introduce you to a different sort of episode this week - which has a part one - which is what you will hear today - and a part two - released to you next week. Because I want to start sharing with you a little bit more personal and let you know what is going on behind the scenes. I have found myself at a bit of a crossroads wondering whether or not I need to leave the medical profession, and luckily enough I have a friend - Sarah Weiler - who hosts a podcast called ‘Knowing When To Quit' - because quitting or ending anything - brings up A LOT of emotions. And may or may not be what is required at any given moment. It is tricky terrain to navigate - and Sarah is here to help us do just that.I really hope you enjoy the insight from these episodes and get a better understanding of where I am coming from and how I want to support you all moving forward.Excerpt from Sarah's Podcast:I'm so excited about today's episode, which is part 1 of a 2-part series with Dr. Jude Galea- she's an A+E doctor of 20 years, the founder of the Witchy Women platform- and host of the podcast Dr. Body Mind Soul, both of which help people inform themselves about alternative therapies away from western medicine. Jude is changing the conversation about medicine and is in the process of going through a big personal transformation with her identity as a doctor.The episode you're going to hear today was recorded exactly a year ago in May 2022 when Jude was taking a break from being an A+E doctor and living in Mexico, setting up her business.At this point a year ago, she's very much still weighing up whether she should leave the medical profession and can see the pros and cons of both leaving and staying.In next week's episode, we will see where she has got to one year on in terms of the decision to leave.The process of putting these two episodes together side by side really highlights to me just how hard the decision to quit can be. It's rarely an overnight decision, it's complex and it can take a lot of processing.Thank you, Jude, for sharing your story and allowing us to accompany you in your exploration of what it means for you to quit or remain in the medical field.In this episode, we discuss:· Jude's relationship with being ‘a doctor' and why she decided to be a doctor.· When she first wanted to quit medicine· What medicine HAS given her over the years and why she's stayed· Jude's exploration of alternative therapies and what she's doing to change the narrative· What we mean by ‘healing' and how the body works naturally· Jude's experience with plant medicine and how it informed her decision to leaveJude's website: drbodymindsoul.com

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: Call me, maybe? Hotlines and Global Catastrophic Risk [Founders Pledge], published by christian.r on January 24, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post summarizes a Founders Pledge shallow investigation on direct communications links (DCLs or "hotlines") between states as global catastrophic risks interventions. As a shallow investigation, it is a rough attempt at understanding an issue, and is in some respects a work in progress. Summary Crisis-communication links or “hotlines” between states are a subset of crisis management tools intended to help leaders defuse the worst possible crises and to limit or terminate war (especially nuclear war) when it does break out. Despite a clear theory of change, however, there is high uncertainty about their effectiveness and little empirical evidence. The most important dyadic adversarial relationships (e.g., U.S.-China, U.S.-Russia, Pakistan-India, India-China) already have existing hotlines between them, and forming new hotlines is an unlikely candidate for effective philanthropy. Along with high uncertainty about hotline effectiveness in crisis management, the highest stakes application of hotlines (i.e., WMD conflict limitation and termination) remains untested, and dedicated crisis-communications channels may have an important fail-safe role in the event of conflict. War limitation- and termination-enabling hotlines have high expected value even with very low probability of success, because of the distribution of fatalities in WMD-related conflicts. Importantly, it appears that existing hotlines — cobbled together from legacy Cold-War systems and modern technology — are not resilient to the very conflicts they are supposed to control, and may fail in the event of nuclear war, electro-magnetic pulse, cyber operations and some natural catastrophic risks, like solar flares. Additionally, there are political and institutional obstacles to hotline use, including China's repeated failure to answer in crisis situations. Philanthropists interested in crisis management tools like hotlines could pursue a number of interventions, including: Funding work and dialogues to establish new hotlines; Funding work and dialogues on hotline resilience (including technical work on hotlines in communications-denied environments); Funding more rigorous studies of hotline effectiveness; Funding track II dialogues between the U.S. and China (and potentially other powerful states) focused on hotlines to understand different conceptions of crisis communication. We believe that the marginal value of establishing new hotlines is likely to be low. The other interventions likely need to be sequenced — before investing in hotline resilience, we ought to better understand whether hotlines work, and what political and institutional issues affect their function. Crucially for avoiding great power conflict, we recommend investing in understanding why China does not “pick up” crisis communications channels in times of crisis. Acknowledgments: I would like to thank Tom Barnes, Linton Brooks, Matt Lerner, Peter Rautenbach, David Santoro, Shaan Shaikh, and Sarah Weiler for helpful input on this project. Background Thomas Schelling first suggested the idea of a direct communications link between the United States and the Soviet Union in 1958, and the idea was popularized in outlets like Parade magazine. Although early attempts were made at implementing such a link (e.g. in early 1962), the need for such a dedicated communications channel between the United States and Soviet Union became pressingly clear during the Cuban Missile crisis, when Kennedy and Krushchev communicated through “clumsy” and slow traditional communications channels. Officials at the Soviet embassy in Washington later recalled that even their own communications with Moscow used slow an...

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: Cruxes for nuclear risk reduction efforts - A proposal, published by Sarah Weiler on November 16, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This is my attempt to give an overview of debates and arguments relevant to the question of how to mitigate nuclear risks effectively. I list a number of crucial questions that I think need to be answered by anyone (individual or group) seeking to find their role as a contributor to nuclear risk mitigation efforts. I give a high-level overview of the cruxes in Figure 1: These questions are based on my moderately extensive engagement with the nuclear risk field; they are likely not exhaustive and might well be phrased in a less-than-optimal way — I thus welcome any feedback for how to improve the list found below. I hope that this list can help people (and groups) reflect on the cause of nuclear risk reduction by highlighting relevant considerations and structuring the large amount of thinking that has gone into the topic already. I do not provide definitive answers to the questions listed, but try to outline competing responses to each question and flesh out my own current position on some of them in separate posts/write-ups (linked to below). The post consists of the following sections: Setting the stage: some background on my CERI research project Outline of my work on nuclear issues prior to the summer fellowship Summary of work by others with some similarity to mine A defense of the value of my project and the output presented here Main body: list of cruxes in the nuclear risk debate Substantive cruxes: questions to determine which nuclear risks to work on and how to do so Sub-cruxes: questions to help tackle the cruxes above Meta-level cruxes: methodological and epistemological questions Links and references Setting the stage For a couple of months, I have been engaged in an effort to disentangle the nuclear risk cause area, i.e., to figure out which specific risks it encompasses and to get a sense for what can and should be done about these risks. I took several stabs at the problem, and this is my latest attempt to make progress on this disentanglement goal. My previous attempts to disentangle nuclear risk While I had some exposure to nuclear affairs during my studies of global politics at uni (i.e., at least since 2018) and have been reading about the topic throughout the last few years, I've been engaging with the topic more seriously only since the beginning of this year (2022), when I did a part-time research fellowship in which I decided to focus on nuclear risks. For that fellowship, I started by brainstorming my thoughts and uncertainties about nuclear risk as a problem area that I might want to work on (resulting in a list of questions and my preliminary thoughts on them), did a limited survey of the academic literature on different intellectual approaches to the topic of nuclear weapons, and conducted a small-scale empirical investigation into how three different non-profits in the nuclear risk field (the Nuclear Threat Initiative, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, and the RAND Corporation) conceptualize and justify their work on nuclear risk (resulting in a sketch of the theory of change. of each organization, constructed based on the information they provide on their websites). During ten weeks over this summer (Jul-Sep 2022), my participation in the Cambridge Existential Risk Initiative — a full-time, paid and mentored research fellowship — has allowed me to dedicate more time to this project and to test out a few more approaches to understanding the nuclear risk field. I spent around three weeks with the goal of compiling a list of organizations working on nuclear risk issues, collecting information on their self-described theory of change, and categorizing the organizations in a broad typolog...

When women's tennis world number one Ash Barty suddenly announced in March 2022 that she was retiring from tennis, it was huge shock. Barty, a three time grand slam champion, was only 25. At the time she said she was leaving professional tennis to pursue other life goals. Quitting is often seen as a negative thing to do, but in this episode we explore the positive side. PwC's Global Workforce Hopes and Fears survey of more than 52,000 people in 44 countries showed that one in five workers planned to quit their jobs in 2022. Marie Keyworth speaks to Moya Dodd, former vice-captain of Australia's women's football team - The Matildas. She now works as a lawyer in Sydney and says Barty's decision to 'quit at the top' could be a lesson to us all. Career coach Sarah Weiler has quit several roles herself, and has now made it her job to help others – how do you know when it's time to move on? And Dina Denham Smith is an executive coach based in the San Francisco Bay area. She helps what she calls ‘high performing, high achieving' people make decisions.

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: A Critique of The Precipice: Chapter 6 - The Risk Landscape [Red Team Challenge], published by Sarah Weiler on June 26, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post was written as part of the Red Team Challenge by Training For Good. We spent seven weeks writing a critique of Chapter 6 of The Precipice because it is a key text in the Effective Altruism community and we believe that it is important to ensure that our ways of comparing and prioritizing existential risks (henceforth referred to as x-risks) rest on a solid foundation. Key takeaways The author provides several useful frameworks for how to think about, compare, and prioritize existential risks - (1) Importance x Tractability x Neglectedness (ITN) (2) Anatomy of extinction risks, (3) Correlation between different x-risks, (4) Existential risk and security factors, and (5) Soon, sudden, sharp. While the Importance x Tractability x Neglectedness (ITN) framework is provided as a key way to prioritize, the author mainly focuses on the Importance aspect, in particular disregarding the Tractability parameter, which we believe could make a significant impact on the final prioritization. There are some plausible reasons for not trying to estimate Tractability, but we would prefer the author to explicitly mention his reasoning. The author does not provide a way to combine all of the different frameworks into a single prioritization, leaving this difficult to apply consistently. Priorities research - the question of how to allocate effort between mitigating x-risks directly vs. investigating the risk landscape to improve future resource allocation - seems important to the chapter, yet is missing from the book entirely. The methods of x-risk probability calculation are highly uncertain, and the author's use of these uncertain estimates as a basis for prioritizing between different x-risks and for allocating large amounts of resources to specific targeted interventions is not fully justified. In light of the large uncertainty of existential risk prioritization, we explore the idea of how broad resilience interventions might side-step some of the issues with estimating the impact of targeted risk reduction, and suggest that these warrant more attention. With the goal of preventing existential catastrophe, focusing on maximizing core resiliency of our species could be a promising alternative. The scope of our critique The Precipice focuses on minimizing existential risks (x-risks) to humanity, defined as “permanent destruction of humanity's potential” (p. 6). These risks include extinction, but also other ways humanity's long-term potential could be permanently destroyed, e.g. permanent collapse of civilization. While there are arguments that a pure focus on x-risks at the cost of everything else may be misguided, we accept the premise of the book for the purposes of our critique. Instead, we focus on critiquing whether Chapter 6, The Risk Landscape, has achieved its stated goal to “contemplate the entire landscape of existential risk, seeing how the risks compare, how they combine, what they have in common, and which risks should be our highest priorities” (p. 165). While we focus this critique on points we believe could be even stronger, we also investigated several claims that hold up very well. In particular, we believe that the author (1) provides useful models for thinking about existential risk, (2) presents a very solid mathematical treatment of how multiple risks combine into an overall risk, clearly highlighting some counterintuitive results, (3) highlights not only direct risks, but also existential risk and security factors, which either increase or lower the chance of existential catastrophe without being a direct existential threat themselves, and (4) differentiates well between targeted vs. broad risk in...

EPISODE 1 IS HERE! 'The News is Alive with the Sound of Quitting... aaaaah!' In 2017 I put a call out for people to share their quitting stories with me. People were shocked that I was bringing this 'brave' and 'out-there' topic into the world. They DM'd me on the sly with their confessions about times they wanted to quit, or shared their relief of when they did. Quitting was still a guilty secret. Fast forward to 2022 and Quitting is all the rage! The great resignation is upon us and Quitting is showing up in every newspaper, magazine and podcast interview. The world is ready for this podcast!

Thinking about it more because I was more than annoyed when I wrote it and because I have life long friends who voted for him. And, most importantly, I’ve been thinking about it because I try to self-correct as needed. It was pretty harsh to say that people should be ashamed of themselves for voting for Trump. I know that I should be ashamed of myself for voting for Hillary, too. A friend sent me a link last night reminding me that Hillary and her minions stole the nomination from Bernie. I knew this and voted for her anyway. It’s the two-party political world we live in. But still. It’s easier to point fingers than look at my own actions. Whatever, I can admit that. I’m not morally superior but I often act like it. Trump is publicly horrible and Hillary is privately villainous. Which behavior is worse? I tend to go with the obvious, the undeniable. But...shady backroom deals just might be worse in the cosmic scheme of things than someone who’s undeniably sexist. I’m a horrible person in private and I try to be a good person in public. I would wager that a lot of us are based on how we want to appear in front of our peers. Trump has little humility in public, uses the word rapist to describe an entire race. I’m even more outraged when people defend Trump for being horrible, saying "he’s not so bad" or "he didn’t mean it." He’s an asshole and saying that he’s not is ridiculous to me. If someone said to me that Hillary is an asshole, I’d agree. If someone told me I was an asshole, I’d say “ya, but only on Mondays and Wednesdays.” So anyways I'll put my superior political morals down for awhile. 😉 I don't have a bow to wrap this up in. You might expect me to say, everybody get together and try to love on another right now. But I won’t. People are entitled to their emotions and opinions. Casting them aside too soon is bad for the soul. Update: so Trump didn’t say that all Mexicans are rapists, just the ones that Mexico sends to the US. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. Okay, so this is only slightly less bad. But still pretty bad. The bigger thought to me is why do illegal immigrants come to the US in the first place? Because US corporations hire them. #politics #election2016 #trump #diariespodcast #diariesvideo tam.the.terrible · Nov 10, 2016 at 11:14 am Thanks for voicing my sentiments. I privately mourn the outcome of this election. I also believe that unity is extremely important, and I believe that anyone who can take small steps to help heal, whether one voted for Trump or Hillary, I ask they please do so. It’s unreasonable to expect those who feel absolute horror over a Trump presidency to suck it up and move on in the days after the election. Rage, grieve, cry, do whatever it takes. We will have to get to work and quickly. There is apparently an amendment to the DEFENSE contract, HR 4909 put forth by Rep. Russell from Oklahoma, that will allow contractors to the government to discriminate against the LGBTQ community. Not being a reader of legalese, I can’t immediately see how this will work, but anyone who wants to can read it here. Having a Republican majority in the house, senate, etc. will unfortunately mean we will have to fight tooth and nail to keep the advancements we have made in the past 8 years. I hope people who support love, equality, equity, harmony, peace, and education will be willing to work hard to keep our gains. http://docs.house.gov/meetings/AS/AS00/20160427/104832/BILLS-114-HR4909-R000604-Amdt-232r2.pdf $m.wand.ajax_click=true;$m.wand.lightswitch=true; Momma J · Nov 10, 2016 at 11:15 am First of all, you’re not a horrible person in private.

  Our 9th podcast episode, in the Legendary Leaders series, sees us back chatting with Sarah Weiler, owner of Power of Uke, TedX Speaker, Comedian and DJ. Sarah kicks things off sharing an insight she's experienced where there's a tendency to make work harder for ourselves because we feel the need to be ‘too busy' and almost overwhelmed to prove that we are working hard. Sarah explains that when things happen that feel a bit easy, we question what we did, and almost talk ourselves into believing we didn't work hard enough. She alludes to surrendering in order to allow ourselves to find something easy and enjoyable and accept it as just that.      Sarah continues the theme of pressure by talking about how people often don't quit something until they end up in crisis, and as such quitting is seen as a negative, something associated with burn out and drama. She reframes quitting and describes it as deciding something no longer serves you or you've reached as far as something's going to take you.     During the podcast we are introduced to the ‘Quitting Quadrant' tool which involves understanding the level of interest and level of discomfort you have with a project or challenge. Sarah explains the four quadrants and how they can be used to understand where we are and what we need to do next, as well as being a useful tool to trigger conversations about what we're doing and whether it's right. The key benefit, Sarah shares with us, is that the Quitting Quadrant helps you to learn quickly if something is working for you or not, and if not, you can move on without shame.      Sarah finishes the podcast with some top tips, including the importance of having time not working, a restoring phase, as well as being kinder by allowing ourselves to not be on edge the whole time.      She also suggests at the end of each day focusing not on what you have done but ask yourself how have you been.     If you enjoyed this episode, check out the video show notes and more here and follow me on Social Media:      Facebook Instagram LinkedIn     In this episode you will learn:    How you can use the Quitting Quadrant to understand what is working for you and where something isn't, quitting without shame.     How to be kinder to yourself from acknowledging success and achievement even in those times when things feel easy, to asking yourself how have you been, rather than what have you done today.   The importance of taking time out from work to restore and recharge and the positive impact that will have on your work     About Cathleen:     As a trained Leadership & Mindset Coach, Facilitator and Keynote Speaker Cathleen supports high achieving but worn-out Women in Corporates create a more content & balanced life without sacrificing their hard-earned success.      Cathleen focuses on women who lost their sense of purpose, who feel they are running in a hamster wheel, trying to please everyone but themselves.

  In this the 8th podcast episode in the Legendary Leaders series, we meet Sarah Weiler, owner of Power of Uke, TedX Speaker, Comedian and DJ (having played Glastonbury in 2019).     Sarah shares some great insights into life and interests. She refers to the analogy of a carousel when it comes to having a varied lifestyle and not wanting to focus on just one ‘thing' in life.     Putting your life and interests on the carousel acknowledges them all without the worry of forgetting one area when your focus is elsewhere. Sarah also redefines focus, explaining that it doesn't mean having to pick one thing and only do that, but rather ensuring that at any one point in time you focus completely and fully on that one area to give it your all.     Sarah shares with us the unique workshops she has run with numerous corporates where she takes people through a process to learn the ukulele, write a song and perform it, and the immediate reactions she receives compared to the feedback from those involved at the end.   She explains the sense of self-belief that the workshops help to create, and the role they play enabling participants to have a bit of fun, loosen up and get into a good mental and interpersonal state for doing their work.

Would you describe yourself as a multi-hyphenate, multipotentialite, or in my case the proverbial 'slashie', meaning that I have so many strings to my bow, and things that I love to do in my work, that I find it difficult to encapsulate it all into one job title. Being a multipotentialite or multi-hyphenate doesn't always have to relate to our work, it can relate to all of the things that we do in work, in careers, at home, in our interests; in live overall. Having so many things on the go at the same time can lead to overwhelm if we're trying to do them all at the same time, and feeling as though we not giving all the attention to all things at all times.

Why there has been a societal bias towards focus over variety, when actually the Carousel means you can have both. Why doing less and taking time to be 'off' to 'do nothing' feeds the energy and flow of your creative projects, work and life in general. Embracing the cyclical / seasonal nature of life and our work. How bringing in Sarah's principles of quitting can actually benefit the rest of your life and work, rather than fearing it.
