  • Ten: Benjamin Todd on the core of effective altruism and how to argue for it

    04/12/2021

    The 80000 Hours team

    Is effective altruism just about donating money to fight poverty? Does it include a moral obligation to give? How do you talk about it to people who've never heard of it? In this conversation from 2020, Arden Koehler and 80,000 Hours CEO Ben Todd cover a bunch of topics related to effective altruism. We also have an article on misconceptions about effective altruism – based on Will MacAskill’s paper The Definition of Effective Altruism – and this episode can act as a companion piece.Full transcript, related links, and summary of this interviewThis episode first broadcast on the regular 80,000 Hours Podcast feed on September 21, 2020.

Episode Description

TLDR: I’ve recently started as a “Research Fellow” at Forethought (focusing on how we should prepare for a potential period of explosive growth and related questions).

I left my role on the CEA Online Team, but I still love the Forum (and the Forum/CEA/mod teams) and plan on continuing to be quite active here. I’m also staying on the moderation team as an advisor.

➡️ If you were planning on reaching out to me about something Forum- or Online-related, you should probably reach out to Toby Tremlett or email forum@effectivealtruism.org.

What's in this post?

I had some trouble writing this announcement; I felt like I should post something, but didn’t know what to include or how to organize the post. In the end, I decided to write down and share assorted reflections on my time at CEA, and not really worry about putting everything into a cohesive frame or [...]

---

Outline:

(00:44) What's in this post?

(02:17) Briefly: more context on the change

(03:45) A note on EA and CEA

(04:32) Assorted notes from my time at CEA

(04:37) Some things about working at CEA that I probably wouldn’t have predicted

(04:44) 1. Working with a manager and working in a team have been some of the best ways for me to grow.

(05:33) 2. I like CEA's team values and principles a lot more than I expected to. (And I want to import many of them wherever I go.)

(08:39) 3. A huge number of people I worked and interacted with are incredibly generous and compassionate, and this makes a big difference.

(10:40) Some things about my work at CEA that were difficult for me

(10:46) 1. My work was pretty public. This has some benefits, and also some real downsides.

(12:31) 2. Many people seem confused about what CEA does, and seemed to assume incorrect things about me because I was a CEA staff member.

(14:58) 3. My job involved working on or maintaining many different projects, which made it difficult for me to focus on any single thing or make progress on proactive projects.

(16:03) 4. Despite taking little of my time, moderation was quite draining for me.

(18:26) Looking back on my work

(23:08) Thank you!
