Reading (and remarks): Benjamin Todd, EA Forum, Why I've come to think global priorities research is even more important than I thought

Update: 2021-06-07

Description

I watched An introduction to global priorities research | Rossa O'Keeffe-O'Donovan | EA Student Summit 2020

He recommended two posts to understand the landscape. One was:

Benjamin Todd, EA Forum, "Why I've come to think global priorities research is even more important than I thought", which I read here, with some comments and explainers. I also read some of the hyperlinked content and comments.

Hope it's helpful. There are some clicking and mic-adjustment sounds. This will be fixed in the next podcast.

If you want to engage, maybe add comments in the EA forum post itself, or as Hypothes.is comments on that post.

Also "here's the deal with me" if you want to know about me professionally.
