EA - Don't optimise for social status within the EA community by freedomandutility

Link to original articleWelcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Don't optimise for social status within the EA community, published by freedomandutility on May 17, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.One downside of engaging with the EA community is that social status in the community probably isn't well aligned with impact, so if you consciously or subconsciously start optimising for status, you may be less impactful than you could be otherwise.For example, roles outside EA organisations which lead to huge social impact probably won't help much with social status inside the EA community.Thanks for listening.
