I was at a talk at the EA hotel that claimed there’s evidence that a specific type of compassion meditation for 30 minutes a day for a few weeks has large effects sizes on compassion. I would be surprised however if this caused people to work on large global problems. I woudn’t be surprised if the combination of interventions that improve compassion and interventions that improve rationality caused more people to work on large global problems.
