June 07, 2021 Sleuths on "The case of the missing cause prioritisation research" (reading/notes on @weeatquince post on EA forum)
I'm on "The case of the missing cause prioritisation research" by weeatquince

I get into links, comments and more. OK not more, just those things but it sounds better to say "and more".
Here's my reading and takes on the next EA Forum post (suggested by Rossa)...

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.

June 07, 2021 Reading (and remarks): Benjamin Todd, EA Forum, Why I've come to think global priorities research is even more important than I thought
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.
