Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: EA Survey 2022: How People Get Involved in EA, published by WillemSleegers on July 21, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Personal contact (22.6%), 80,000 Hours (13.5%), and a book, article, or blog post (13.1%) are the most common sources where respondents first hear about EA. 80,000 Hours, local or university EA groups, personal contacts, and podcasts have become more common as sources of where respondents first encounter EA. Facebook, Giving What We Can, LessWrong, Slate Star Codex / Astral Codex Ten, The Life You Can Save, and GiveWell have become less common. Respondents whose gender selection was 'woman', 'non-binary', or 'prefer to self-describe', were much more likely to have first heard of EA via a personal contact (30.2%) compared to respondents whose gender selection was 'man' (18.4%). 80,000 Hours (58.0%), personal contact with EAs (44.0%), and EA groups (36.8%) are the most common factors important for getting involved in EA. 80,000 Hours, EA Groups, and EAGx have been increasing in importance over the last years. EA Global, personal contact with EAs, and the online EA community saw a noticeable increase in importance for helping EAs get involved between 2020 and 2022. Personal contact with EAs, EA groups, the online EA community, EA Global, and EAGx stand out as being particularly important among highly engaged respondents for getting involved. Respondents who identified as non-white, as well as women, non-binary, and respondents who preferred to self-describe, were generally more likely to select factors involving social contact with EAs (e.g., EA group, EAGx) as important. Where do people first hear about EA? Personal contacts continue to be the most common place where people first hear about EA (22.6%), followed by 80,000 Hours (13.5%) and a book, article, or blog post (13.1%). Comparison across all years The plot below shows changes in where people report first hearing of EA across time (since we ran the first EA Survey in 2014). We generally observe that the following routes into EA have been increasing in importance over time: 80,000 Hours Local or university EA groups Personal contacts Podcasts And the following sources have been decreasing in importance: Facebook Giving What We Can LessWrong Slate Star Codex / Astral Codex Ten The Life You Can Save GiveWell Comparison across cohorts Several of the patterns observed in the previous section are also observed when we look at where different cohorts of EA respondents first encountered EA. We see that more recent cohorts are more likely to have encountered EA via 80,000 Hours and podcasts, and are less likely to have encountered EA via Giving What We Can, LessWrong, and GiveWell. No clear cohort effects were observed for other sources. Note that the figure below omits categories with few observations (e.g., EA Global, EAGx). Further Details We asked respondents to provide further details about their responses, and provide a breakdown for some of the larger categories. Details of other categories are available on request. 80,000 Hours The largest number of respondents who first heard of EA through 80,000 Hours reported doing so through an independent search, e.g., they were searching online for "ethical careers" and found 80,000 Hours. The second largest category was via the website (which is potentially closely related, i.e., contact with the website resulting from independent search). Relatively much smaller proportions mentioned reaching 80,000 Hours through other categories, including more active outreach (e.g., advertisements). Books, articles, and blogs A book was cited as the most common source of encountering EA when considering the category of books, articles, and blogs. Books Books by Peter Singer were by far the most frequently cited books, followed by Doing Good Better by Willia...

Kid606 [00:39] "Let It Rock" Pretty Girls Make Raves Tigerbeat6 meow132 2006 Hello Mid-Aughties Bay Area IDM. Michael Nesmith [05:32] "Some of Shelley's Blues" Pretty Much Your Standard Ranch Stash Pacific Arts/Island Records ILPS 9440 1977 One of my scores from Amsterdam. "Some of Shelley's Blues was going to be part of the Nashville session The Monkees had in 1968. Prior to this version it was also covered by Linda Ronstadt with the Stone Poney's (https://youtu.be/d9cQBGMzigU), as well as the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (https://youtu.be/BXJiqKgl7BI). Willie Nelson [08:52] "Blue Christmas" Pretty Paper Columbia JC 36189 1979 Having yourself a very Willia xmas? Getting some quality assistance from Booker T on the organ. The title track, made famous by Roy Orbison in 1963, is penned by none other than Willie. Prince [11:31] "I Wanna Be Your Lover" Prince Warner Bros. Records BSK 3366 1979 Prince's sophomore effort and what an effort it is! The album made it to number 22 on the Hot 100, and this lead off single (https://youtu.be/Rp8WL621uGM) hit number 11 on the US charts. Linda Ronstadt [18:29] "Hey Mister, That's Me Up on the Jukebox" Prisoner in Disguise Asylum Records 7E-1045 1975 Linda deftly handling this James Taylor number on this multi-platinum album. Emerson Meyers [22:40] "In Memoriam for Soprano & Tape" Provocative Electronics (Electronic Constructions on Traditional Forms) Westminster Gold WGS-8129 1970 Recorded at the Electronic Music Laboratory of the Catholic University of America, of all places, in 1970. Don't worry, I have an insider checking to see whether his laboratory still exists. The Cramps [27:35] "Goo Goo Muck" Psychedlic Jungle I.R.S. Records SP 70016 1981 How timely! The Cramps very well known version of Ronnie Cook and the Gaylads 1962 single. Record fiend friends, let me tell you that I have had a saved eBay search for that original Ronnie Cook single, and it has yet to go for less than three figures. Here's hoping I find it in a random place someday in the future. Thurston Moore [30:40] "Ono Soul" Psychic Hearts Goofin' Records Goo-010 2006 (originally released on DGC in 1995) Thurston hearts the queen of noise. This album features artwork by the excellent Rita Ackermann. Luna [35:53] "Beautiful View" Pup Tent Teenbeat TEENBEAT 232 1997 The fourth studio album from one of my favorite bands. This is one of the few that was released on vinyl at the time. Of course there's also the big beautiful box set (https://www.discogs.com/master/1027116-Luna-Long-Players-92-99). Purple Mountains [39:34] "She's Making Friends, I'm Turning Stranger" Purple Mountains Drag City DC680 2019 Ugh. Sadly, the final David Berman project. A thoroughly engaging album from start to finish.Interested and brave parties can check out this piece on David Berman's final days in the recent issue of Creem (https://www.creem.com/fresh-creem/david-berman-purple-mountains-final-days-feature). Temptations [43:42] "I Can't Get Next to You" Puzzle People Gordy S-949 1969 Such a hot opening track, this copy has been played many times. I tried to salvage it as best as possible. Number one single from a number 5 album. The Who [46:24] "Bell Boy" Quadrophenia (Music from the Soundtrack of The Who Film) Polydor 2625 037 1979 And what a film it is. Who knew that the king of the mods had a day job? Big Blood [51:21] "1000 Times" QuaranTunes Series No.027 Feeding Tube Records FTR634 2021 One of the things that got me through the stay-at-home phase of the pandemic was all of the excellent livestreams from musicians. This particular one from Portland ME's Big Blood was pretty much transcendtal for me. And this particular track featuring Quinissa on vocals scratched an audio itch that I didn't know I had. To really put it over the top for me, they followed it up with a cover of The Clean's "Anything Could Happen" (https://youtu.be/wPGIJdlOkbw?t=2272). Ultravox [55:20] "We Came to Dance" Quartet Chrysalis CDL 1394 1394 The sixth outing from Midge Ure and company. Oddly, produced by George Martin and less oddly cover design by Peter Saville. This track was the fourth and final single from Quartet. Robyn Hitchcock 'n' the Egyptians [59:34] "Madonna of the Wasps" Queen Elvis A&M Records SP 5241 1989 Another musician who had some great livestreams during stay-at-home along with his partner Emma Swift and Tubby and Ringo and Perry the Lobster. This song will forever be one of my favorites of his. Helped out by usual suspect Peter Buck on guitar here. Japan [01:02:39] "Halloween" Quiet Life Fame FA3037 1982 (originally released in 1979) Japan's third album, transitioning into synth pop territory. Music behind the DJ: "Gomez" by Vic Mizzy

Willia Dean Parker v. Sarah Hinton

This week the moms welcome Willia-Noel Montague, Dance Captain and Swing for Broadway's The Lion King, to discuss the day to day life of a Broadway performer.

In the forty-ninth episode of Season 2, Noir Means Noir, Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek (of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist) and fellow podcaster Ben Thelen (of the Dead Reckoner podcast) to discuss one of the first proto-noirs that preceded the genre and the style, Fritz Lang's deeply humanist adaptation and creation of the lovers-on-the-run genre You Only Live Once.

On the August 21st Friday LIVE, host Genevieve Randall and guests have lively conversations about: how to keep music alive during a pandemic with Derrick Fox and Tina Schwahn: Gretchen Garrison's latest book; Hub & Soul Music Series; and, Harrison Henning Boe's concert. Also, poetry from Willia...

Thank you again for listening. What did you think? Loved the ending? Hated it? Wish we have a follow up about Tacenda? Cuz I do. It would be a pleasure to hear your thoughts on the story.

The second part (0f two) of my comments on Willa Cather's "My Antonia".

The second half of my review of Willa Cather's "O Pioneers". Next up, "The Song of the Lark."

The first episode of a two part series on Willa Cather's novel "O Pioneers".

Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie shine (and creep you out) in the topic of our 36th Next 100 Project ‘cast. Brian De Palma’s horror hit doesn’t truly frighten us anymore, but its themes are juicy. Bullying, feminism, religious insanity are all here, plus we discuss if Carrie is a burgeoning super-hero. Punch up the Sparkplug.Coffee link, then be nice to the prom queen and hear of her bloody tale.

It's The 1st of the month and today on The Raw Hype, Rebel, Hype and guests @RawFootage and TJ Willia speak on the NBA finals, music streaming being worth money, the boy that ended up in the gorilla cage and of course women. What story for sports is better, the Warriors being the greatest team ever or King James taking that team down and bouncing back from last year? Hype unleashes his new plan to rob a bank. Who's the best rapper out? Lastly, they ask if someone is committing a crime and someone kills them is it their own fault they got merked? AND SO MUCH MORE…… TheRawHype@gmail.com @Hype_Cole @RebelRaw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRx7ZLUxjtEBi6oCOhnlejA
