Lets say we solve the attention problem and all important posts get sufficient attention and feedback. We have a happy community of people well versed in important things. What is the next step? How does a small group of people knowing important thing move the world in a better direction?
Options:
A small sub group of people splits off and does something. I believe this has happened in the past, it seems to be people who were co-located? Should we be doing more to build communities where we are.
We try and explain the important thing to effective altruists. So that we/they can execute it in that context. We would have to make sure it fit into the community norms of EAs.
Come together as a community to work on a software project or book to get the idea out into the world.
Whichever we pick we should be practicing it/them constantly so that when it is important we can do this well. We are only good at things we do.
This would be a comunity post if I could figure out how to post one.
What is the pipeline?
