My name is Evan Gaensbauer. I’m starting an account on the new effective altruism forum with the same name, and I intend to post both here and there more frequently in the future. Additionally, I may write material for one site that is tangentially of interest to the readers on the other site. So, I want everyone to match what I write on different sites with me as the author. Some notable facts about me:
I live in Vancouver, Canada, where I help organize some of the effective altruism, and rationality meetups.
Glad to have a new altruist join the conversation, and it sounds like you have already gotten quite involved. Great. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what sort of experiences and views you bring to the table.
Since you’re in Vancouver, do you know of the LW meetup they have there? If you haven’t attended, it may be worth looking into and visiting. It’s a great way to network and just mingle with other rationalists.
I had not heard of 80,000 Hours before your post. Seems interesting. Thanks for introducing me to a new group I did not know about!
Anyway, glad to have you join us. Look forward to seeing you in the conversation!
I had a previous Less Wrong account under the username eggman. I got one with my full name to sync with my username on the new effective altruism forum, as I intend to post more frequently on both that site, and Less Wrong, and I figured it’d make sense for everyone to know my common identity so they can connect different ideas written on difference sites, or with my public identity.
I sometimes organize the LW meetup in Vancouver, and it’s going fine.
