The era of radio drama was a time when storytelling was a purely auditory experience, and "Broadway Is My Beat" was a shining example of this art form. Running on CBS from 1949 to 1954, this radio crime drama painted a vivid picture of New York City's underbelly, with Times Square Detective Danny Clover at the center of the action. The show began with Anthony Ross voicing Detective Clover, bringing to life the gritty streets of New York during its first three months. However, it was Larry Th ...

I work for CEA, but this post isn’t intended as a fundraising post for CEA. The main beneficiaries I want to direct readers to are e.g. EA groups and EA communicators who might not have capacity for fundraising. I expect similar arguments apply to e.g. AIS, rationality and animal welfare community-building efforts but I know those spaces less well.…

Key Takeaways Optimizing your giving's effect on "EA's portfolio” implies you should fund the causes your value system thinks are most underfunded by EA's largest allocators (e.g. Open Phil and SFF). These causes aren't necessarily your value system's most preferred causes. ("Preferred" = the ones you'd allocate the plurality of EA's resources to.)…

TLDR: The shortest version of this argument is very simple: your expectations for an organization should be higher where their budget and staff size are higher. In other words, we should have different expectations for a 20-person organization with a $1 million budget than a 2-person $100,000 budget organization. While this seems pretty clear in th…

Foreword Sadly, it looks like the debate week will end without many of the stronger[1] arguments for Global Health being raised, at least at the post level.

I really loved this quick take from Lizka, especially this part: At the same time, trying to actually do anything is really hard.[4] Appreciation for doers is often undersupplied. Being in leadership positions or engaging in public discussions is a valuable service, but opens you up to a lot of (often stressful) criticism, which acts as a disincent…

For many years, I devoted myself to improving human health and wellbeing. But then I shifted to working to prevent suffering for animals.

But when we talk about ‘animal welfare’, we are us…

In summary, there are two important reasons why I believe it's more important to direct additional resources towards animal welfare over global health: Global health and human welfare are generally improving whilst animal suffering is getting worse at a worrying (and potentially accelerating) rate. For factory farming, the default is it gets worse …
