Why is this relevant to Effective Altruism?

  • Some items are immediately relevant (e.g., forecasts of famine).
  • Others are projects whose success I'm cheering for, and which I think have the potential to do great amounts of good (e.g., Replication Markets).
  • The remaining are relevant to the extent that cross-pollination of ideas is valuable.
  • Forecasting may become a powerful tool for world-optimization, and EAs may want to avail themselves of this tool.
