okay I understand why ea are disinterested in this (my best guess is that it has a sjw vibe while EA is like beyond that and “rational” and focuses on measurable things) but maybe I will spend some time reading about this where do I start. What kind of mindset would be the best to approach it given that I’m a hardcore ea who keeps a dashboard with measurable goals like “number of people of convinced to become EA” and thinks anything that doesnt contribute to the goals on his dashboard are useless.
Huh. You are kind of proving my point here and you don’t even seem to realize it. Alright, I will answer.
Don’t guess, do research and question your bias. There is significant hard data on this. Gates foundation was focued on stuff like buying mosquito nets (an EA classic) and vaccinations, but somehow several of these efforts just failed. They tried to figure out why.
SJW terminology and ‘vibes’ is stuff intelligent people don’t really bother with much where I live. We are not living in propaganda bubbles in EU as much as some other places.
Approach this with an empirical mindset, but don’t expect engineering journals to report on poverty and education issues. I recommend starting with reading what world bank says about gender equality and poverty. I can make a post with extensive sources if you like.
