Eh?

What was the question? The rampant flagging here is quite annoying.

Do you have some further reading where one can understand the basics of the subject?

The vast majority of non-EA charity givers to not expend effort on trying to find the most dollar efficient charities (or indeed pushing for quantification at all), which makes their altruism ineffectual in a world with strong competition between charities (where the winners are inevitably those who spend the most on acquiring donations).

This is already true to a great extent. A family with lots of genetic health conditions are probably going to remain poor.

While steelmanning is a great practice, it sometimes feels a bit unfair that many positions are not allowed to be steelmanned (socially or otherwise).

Sadly I don't have time to go into it now, but they're massively overpaying due to miscallibrated risk tolerance. (Paying tens of millions per QALY is not a good use of money, 1 milliSv per year is an utterly insane goal)

The actual disaster had noticably bad short term effects on only a small area and long term effects on a tiny area.

Probably overselling the "large" there... at least on the scale of global power production.

And yet somehow there are infinity times more reals than rationals...

Very hard to get your head around!

Honestly, a future where diplomas are just noise and employers stop caring about them and thus young people stop wasting years of their lives "learning" something they don't care about sounds like a huge improvement.

LLM cheaters might incidentally be doing society a service.

Can't see any eugenics there, can you quote?

They probably suspect you to be a slow coder who writes code with bad abstractions because they percieve the maths skills as how one does things in software engineering.

This is silly, many countries use consumer messaging for internal communications. The UK government famously uses whatsapp for example.
