You’re welcome :) in particular, your 2015 cause selection essay was I thought a particularly high-quality writeup of the end-to-end process from personal values to actual donation choice and (I appreciated this) where you were most likely to change your mind, so I recommended it to a few folks as well as used it as a template myself back in the day.
In general I think theory-practice gap bridging via writeups like those are undersupplied, especially the end-to-end ones — more writeups bridge parts of the “pipeline”, but “full pipeline integration” done well is rare and underappreciated, which combined with how effortful it is to do it makes me not surprised there isn’t more of it.
I’m glad to hear that! I often don’t hear much response to my essays so it’s good to know you’ve read some of them :)
