wonder if making intrauterine insemination more accessible is possible / would have large benefits or whether anything feasible would be meh and not many people would want it anyway

Wonder why not "everyone" is going for the repository for germinal choice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repository_for_Germinal_Choice) route

Partially it's probably a price thing, like £2k for sperm, £1k for IUI, multiplied by however many tries it takes (5-10?) (see https://www.marketplace.org/2019/10/24/the-cost-of-building-a-family-using-donor-sperm/), and people who can afford that easily already have lots of ppl in their dating pool as successful as sperm donors so the benefits are less clear.

- because i filter on quality posting on mastodon?
- because x-posts are algorithmically favoured?

so much for the "efficient market", this index fund has been giving predictable returns that haven't been fully exploited yet!

pronatalism and antinatalism both rock and have compelling arguments for and against. imo

wonder if there’s a guide that’s like “how to pirate movies / download books or scientific papers / order nootropics online” for people who are very anxious and conformist

maybe that much legibility would kill the golden goose tho :(

Oh, cool, Open Philanthropy is doing scholarships for effective altruist international students doing degrees at top US/UK universities https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/other-areas/undergraduate-scholarship?utm_campaign=80000+Hours+Job+Board&utm_source=80000+Hours+Job+Board

If any of you want to solve AI safety (or animal farming, or global poverty, or...) and could do with having an undergrad degree from Oxford but are deciding not to because it would be too expensive and you live outside the UK, check it out
