Hopefully not an ineffective one

No

Yes - but I don't think the name is a very good one

@ElliotDavies what would you prefer, I've always liked Global Priorities Studies but I also find Effective Altruism ok.

@justifieduseofFallibilism I often tell people anything you can come up with in a 5 minute brainstorm is better. "Smart Charity" is better. Global priorities studies is better. Evidence based charity is better.

EA poll

I put "strong yes". I donate a very significant percentage of my money/income (~65% this year) and all my career decisions for the last 5 years have been with effective altruism and my contributions to the world in mind.

I took the pledge. I think that means I count as an effective altruist.

I voted "leaning towards yes"; I don't consider myself part of the Effective Altruist community, but I think that, if you're donating to charity, you should make sure you're doing it in a way that's as aligned with your values as possible. EAs seems to be the only people who attempt this in a systematic way, aside from maybe some religious groups?

lol I accidentally voted strong no because I wanted to see who picked it

@jskf lol, use mirror bot to vote again

@firstuserhere it would mirror my mistake

(Regardless of whether you identify as an EA)

???

@jskf yeah removed

The original intention was to motivate people to vote for being an EA if they agree with the philosophy, and not whether they consider themselves to be a part of the community.

Removed because it causes unncessary confusion for an otherwise simple poll.
