In relative terms, the difference between the best charities to donate to *under your own explicit beliefs and values* and GiveDirectly seems similar to GD vs playpumps
Reply, 16:48 UTC · 4 likes
In absolute terms it’s much larger
And less confidently I suspect the psychological moves that underly eg donating to a local food bank even when one is familiar with EA are the same that underly donating to GD even after one strong upvotes an analysis showing Shrimp Welfare

I’m against this (ofc willing to be persuaded otherwise)
It’s the unfortunate reality that 14y/os have very little autonomy, legally or practically. Their parents can make life significantly better or worse at will even within the bounds of the law…

So if your parents decide that they want you to work and hand over the money, they can functionally cause this to happen

Coerced work (and indeed I think there should be more leeway in eg whether to go to school online or in person, whether you need an excuse to miss class as long as you get the work done, etc) but at least there ~all of the coerced benefit accrues to the child (because they

It’s a good question. There are reasons not to eat fish tho:
1) farmed fish live in terrible conditions
2) wild fish are killed in heinous ways (asphyxiation often takes >1 hr) and demand elasticity means eating wild fish induces some smaller amount of farmed fish to be raised

“Does P(rain tomorrow) increase or decrease with consecutive days of no rain?” seems like a pretty interesting question
I think there’s anthropic bias here though: in places where the “increase” finding isn’t true, people (and their religions) leave and/or die eventually
Quoting alz (@alz_zyd_): Hahahahaha awesome paper
Tl;dr:
- Praying for rain is common across religions
- Prayer _actually predicts_ rain in some places!
- This is because, in some places, rain isn't Poisson: when it hasn't rained for a long time, it's more likely to rain

Quoting Captain Pleasure, Andrés Gómez Emilsson (@algekalipso): I value the "Fuck Yeah" vibe that comes with American pride to an extent, and I think it generally is capable of doing things of value, such as being able to overcome the fear of trivial social punishment that comes when you try anything new. Startup fuel, really.
It's just a matter of channeling it properly, away from football, alcohol, and fireworks, and towards 2C-B-like drug discovery, genetics research, and meditation accelerants, all of which are still happening, first and foremost, and at the highest levels, in the U S and A.

But the *real* real (and IMO true) contrarian viewpoint is that first-order contrarian viewpoints are often wrong and you have to look at the object level evidence instead of just pattern matching

Quoting George Mack (@george__mack): Spent the last 30 days in America
Some thoughts on the USA vs the UK:
1. Flags - In America, if you fly the national flag -- it's normal. In Britain, if you fly the national flag -- you're labeled a neo-nazi.
2. Accents - In America, if you drive for 2 hours -- people's accents don't change much. In Britain, if you drive for 2 hours -- people's accents change a lot.
3. Work - In American culture, people sell themselves well when meeting strangers. In British culture, you're taught to downplay everything you do.
4. Fashion - In America, the biggest companies are tech. In Europe, the biggest companies are fashion.
If you're European -- you immediately become the top 10% of fashion sense in America.
This rule even applies to Brits -- who are notoriously the worst dressed in Europe.
5. Nice cars - In America, if you have a nice car -- most people will ask: "Wow. What do you do for work?"
In Britain, if you have a nice car -- some people will wait for you to leave it, and scratch their key down the side of it.
6. The British accent - Most Brits don't realize this but Americans love the British accent.
You immediately appear smarter and more attractive than you are. The British accent is a commodity in the rest of the world -- except Britain.
If you have a British accent, the worst ROI you get for it is ironically in Britain.
Unfortunately, the reverse isn't true for American accents.
7. History - In the 1700s, Americans were the ones that decided to get on a random boat for 50 days and travel across the whole world in search of a better life.
The Brits were the ones that said: "What a silly idea. Why would I do that?!"
This historical A/B test can explain 99% of their differences generations later.
8. Decentralisation - In America, if you want to get into politics - Washington.
If you want to get into tech - San Francisco.
If you want to get into finance - New York.
If you want to get into entertainment - LA.
In Britain, if you want to get into elite politics, tech, finance, or entertainment: You move to London.
(Remote work and Manchester's boom is changing this slightly)
9. Anti-Fragile - American kids are told they can do anything. This is great -- but can result in fragile self-esteem when reality meets their imagination.
British kids take the piss out of one another. This looks bad on the surface -- but it results in anti-fragile self-esteem. You learn to publicly laugh at your own insecurities.
10. Comedy - Chris Rock once broke down the difference between him (American) and Ricky Gervais (British).
American comedy is often so loud. They shout to get their joke across to everyone in the room.
British comedy is usually subtle. The best joke is the one that only the smart people in the room understood.
11. Road rage - There appears to be less road rage in America relative to Britain.
In Britain, there are 10x more car horns and fights.
I suspect this might be because of bigger roads -- or that you're unsure if the person you're starting a fight with has a gun.
12. Naming conventions - America often calls things what they are.
E.g. Joshua Tree in LA -- because it has a lot of Joshua Trees.
In British culture, it's more obscure.
E.g. Big Ben's own Wikipedia page has a debate about why a clock is called Big Ben. All we know is it involved some bloke called Ben.
13. War scar tissue - During WW1 and WW2, Britain saw millions of people die near their own soil. Major British cities got bombed into rubble.
Americans have barely seen any losses near their land. And the wars where they did take damage (E.g. Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam) - they were all so far away from America.
As a result, the British culture is more stoic. Brits mentally prepare for the worst outcome. It's the spirit that got us through watching our country get blown up twice.
Bonus thought:
14. Meta point - I poked more fun at Britain than America.
Why? Because I'm British. And mocking yourself rather than someone else is a very British thing to do.
And I love that part of British culture.

Nuance: This is largely satire from my own personal observations. The sample size is 1 and none of the above is a scientific fact.

Kinda confused. I mean if we’re talking about meta level research orgs only (RP) it’s not obvious to me why getting $1M from OpenPhil enables better/more wide ranging research than getting $500k from OP and $500k from individuals
Reply to @Laura_k_Duffy, 02:15 UTC · 1 like
Laura Muresianu 🌐🔸🇺🇸 (@Laura_k_Duffy): Because you have more freedom to do research according to your own agenda/assumptions
I mean I know RP in particular does specific contracting projects for OP but is it in fact the case that in general large non-contract grants to meta level orgs (RP, ACE, GiveWell, ??) limits what kind of research gets done, explicitly or implicitly?

Rafael Ruiz ⏸️🔸 (@RafaRuizdeLira): @AndyMasley It also looks culturally worse in less capitalistic countries (Continental Europe, Latin America).
I think those are some reasons why 80k has moved away from the emphasis on the idea in the first place.
But otherwise I'm on board. It's definitely better than nothing?
My sense was 80k moved away bc more money came in and talent needs identified
Tbh it doesn’t sound that plausible that 80k would update on long-standing ideological differences (like what changed?)

Good deal IMO

The friends to lovers thing is real and possible but keep in mind that guys tend to care about attractiveness even when making opp sex friends, whereas women basically don’t (but then do care when it comes to dating/ sex)
