Meta comment - is it only me or is there something off with the references (the numbers don't match and links don't work) and with the ToC (here 'This' and 'short post' got their sub points). But only the references are an issue worth fixing imo if others have the same.
As for the content - very interesting, I'm surprised I haven't heard about that before. I think this can be very good place for discussion that attracts people willing to do good and caring about their own causes whom we might convince to start thinking about effectiveness and expanding their moral circle. And would make EA more democratic.
I'm eager now to try it out in Poland.

EA-themed Superhero Graphic Novel / Shounen Anime / K Drama
Effective Altruism Meta, Community Building
I really like to think about that Superman fanfic where he tried to aim for 'most good'. Many existing superhero stories could be rewritten so the main protagonists tries to maximize their impact. I know non-fiction movies/documentaries were mentioned but I think the 3 types of media I mentioned have the potential to become really popular (are consumed by vast number of teenagers and (young) adults globally. It's a risk (it could be a flop), but I think one we could take. I am pretty confident a big enough budget can 'buy quality' so it would be better than average story.
Internal market for (EA) recruitment
Effective Altruism Operations, Economic Growth
Open source tool that would allow companies/orgs to set up internal (prediction) markets where all employees could bet on which candidate would be the best fit and be awarded points/real money for every month they stayed at the company.
I don't understand why "Surely, You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman" is on the list. I haven't learned anything from this book aside from some trivia about Feynman's life and, honestly, I disliked it.
