It brings me back to another period of my life. I would talk about it a lot around me, but ended up having very little impact. AFAIK, it’s an other class of problems than the ones EA solves. EA tends to focus on consensual and scalable problems where money has an obvious way of being used. Because money has more impact in poorer countries, the typical problem is something like “we need money to build wells in Sahel”, as opposed to “we need to pass this controversial law in the US”.
This reminds me, it’s been years since I last checked the progress of laws against corporal punishment of children.
