Let’s chat!
Let’s chat!
You want to explore and talk about meaningful ways to get involved? E.g. by developing or refining high-impact projects, collaborating, funding¹, or volunteering to reduce and prevent suffering at scale and foster a more compassionate future for all sentient beings?
Then we’d love to have a chat!
Before our call, please prepare by reflecting on what cause area(s) you want to work on or how you want to optimise your career for impact. This can be exploratory and rough, but ideally includes:
- A SMART Theory of Change — for your individual contribution - ideally ranking strategies by potential impact (with importance/tractability/neglectedness (ITN) considerations), risk/benefit ratio and counterfactuals.
- Long-term projections (evolution, obstacles, risks and benefits, counterfactuals) — how your approach might impact future sentient beings in the next 10, 50, and 200 years
- Considerations about personal fit, personal motivation, and career development.²
