Comment on Questions about Effective Altruism in academia (RAQ)

Diego Caleiro · 2015-05-27 · EA Forum

I've left the field of philosophy (where I was mostly so I could research what seemed interesting and not what the university wanted, as Chalmers puts it "studying the philosophy of x" where x is what interests me at any time) and am now in biological anthropology. It seems that being a professor in non-philosophy fields is much easier than in philosophy, from my many years researching the topic. Also switching fields between undergrad and grad school is easy, in case someone reading this does not know.
