going to an ea conference has showed me that i'm now a medium-age EA (as in, i've been in EA longer than most people I talked to at the conf)

which is *weird*

there's definitely a thing going on there which was definitely lw/forecasting influenced, these very small thought patterns

reading thousands of blogposts on this does increase your depth, imperceptibly at first

(Un?)related point: take the winners of the first decade review (forum.effectivealtruism.org/s/):

7 of them are "fluffy" posts, a lot more concerned with the vibe of EA. this feels — lacking, in some way? maybe a bit too much?

additional question: what's going on with CFAR these days? gone?
