It does feel a bit weird for this to be curated on LessWrong rather than Effective Altruism Forum. Partly for “idk, feels like the wrong genre?” reasons (which I don’t think are very strong), and partly because I think it’s healthy for LessWrong to be an intellectual scene that doesn’t really route through the “EA” abstraction.
But, I do still expect the post to be relevant to a lot of LessWrong contributors, who are engaging with various flavors of “the world seems full of big problems”, and feel various flavor of pressure to adapt themselves to help with those big problems, in ways that are unhealthy. I think there are particular flavors of this that route through “conform to the Effective Altruism cultural center-of-mass”, and versions that route through a somewhat more general pressure, and I think the models in this post will be relevant to a fair number of people.
Curated.
