Thanks for posting this, Jeremy! The Delay, Detect, Defend framework is the best I know for understanding the strategy behind actionable interventions for GCBR reduction. A biosafe world seems within our reach, but we must take these threats seriously.

What are some convincing arguments & pieces of evidence that people of a wide range of backgrounds can have fulfilling, enjoyable careers while also working in a top EA cause area?

Cal Newport argues in favor of this in his book So Good They Can’t Ignore You, as a uni group leader myself I’ve found his points useful when talking with new members.

I believe Cal Newport’s career advice has been quite influential in 80000 hour’s own, so you might not find anything terribly new there but I do think it’s worth checking out.
