Ahhh got it, thanks! Funny how most of the comments there are trying to rationalize his affiliation with EA as "not EA" lol.

Hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere yet that Luigi Mangione (US person who killed a health insurance executive) was interested in EA. "He suggested I schedule group video calls as he really wanted to meet my other founding members and start a community based on ideas like rationalism, Stoicism, and effective altruism.”

shrug I think it would be helpful to me, and like I said the reader can take it or leave it. Thems the breaks. I think commenting from a throwaway account providing the data and letting the reader decide is better than not commenting and not providing data

Thanks again! I guess I'm just trying to understand why these metrics are important or how they are important. Why does it matter how many people in the US have heard of EA or how they feel about it? What is the underlying question the survey and its year over-end fellows are trying to get at? Eg, is it trying to measure how well CEA is performing in terms of whether its programs are making a difference in the populace?

The reader can take it or leave it given these facts, but imo it serves as a data point that someone from US Policy is pointing to this real thing.

Very detailed and thorough response, thank you!

Last question if you have time: what questions was this survey trying to answer?

What questions was this survey trying to answer? I kind of feel like the most important version of a survey like this would be certain subsets of people (eg, tech, policy, animal welfare).

Also why didn't you call out that the more people know what EA is, the less they seem to like it? Or was that difference not statistically significant?

("Sentiment towards EA among those who had heard of it was positive (51% positive vs. 38% negative among those stringently aware, and 70% positive, vs. 22% negative among those permissively aware)."

That's just completely false. Sorry I can't say more.
