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?
Then we’d love to have a chat!
Before our call, please prepare by reflecting on how you might best contribute, including potential cause areas and how your career could be shaped accordingly. This can be exploratory and rough, but ideally includes working through the following impact-oriented questions:
What are Crucial Considerations for impact of your project, donations or career plans?
What are your considerations in regard to near-term impact, including importance, tractability, neglectedness (ITN), risk-benefit trade-offs, and counterfactuals?
What is your SMART Theory of Change for your involvement? Please include consideration in regard to outcome robustness and implementation robustness.
What are plausible long-term trajectories (evolution, obstacles, risks, benefits, and counterfactuals) over 10, 50, and 200 years?
And what are your personal fit, motivation and development plans?
You don’t need to address every question in depth. They’re intended as prompts, not a checklist.
You can schedule a call with us here:
We also warmly invite you to our bi-monthly community events:
