Cause Guides

(Tentatively Titled and Under Construction, but I felt I ought to start this page anyway as a form of self-accountability. )

I want to save the world. If you’re here, I hope you do, too.
This is meant to be a practically motivated compendium of:

  • the various problems humanity faces
  • my attempts to come to grips with them
  • useful contacts or knowledgeable specialists in the field
  • projects that are trying to solve these problems
  • recommendations for how to get involved

The vision is that ultimately, the writings here will come to comprise my personal theory of change.

In the event that good expositions exist already, I will link directly to them, and perhaps provide summarisation, contextualisation and commentary.

A great place to start seems to be: https://80000hours.org/problem-profiles/
The book The Precipice by Tony Ord also seems great for an overview of potential extinction risks even if it is non-obvious to me how concretely actionable it is.

I’m currently working on setting up these guides, but for the moment, here are some good example resources:
