EA SF Discussion Salon: Cause Prioritization

​What does it mean to "identify and compare promising focus areas for doing good"?

​How do we compare Givewell's health interventions in developing countries to family planning to hell-like cluster headaches to the welfare of a factory farmed chicken to the life of an insect to even AI welfare?

​The world has a lot of pressing problems, and we have limited resources.

Open Questions
- How much do we agree or disagree with 80k's list of the world's most pressing problems?
- What if what you care about & what you're skilled in diverge?
