On the mar­gin, effec­tive al­tru­ist re­searchers and lead­ers should carry out more em­piri­cal in­ves­ti­ga­tion of strate­gic ques­tions.

Strategic question might include:

• How can we shape the development of brain-computer interfaces?

• How important is it that effective altruists are risk-neutral?

• How valuable are risky ventures?

• How valuable are various sources of EA recruitment?

• What would be useful projects for effective altruists to launch?
