Comment on Direct Funding Between EAs - Moral Economics

Diego Caleiro · 2015-07-28 · EA Forum

Off the top of my mind and without consulting people:

Justin Shovelain, Oliver Habryka, Malcolm Ocean, Roxanne Heston, Miranda Dixon-Luinenburg, Steve Rayhawk, Gustavo Rosa, Stephen Frey, Gustavo Bicalho, Steven Kaas, Bastien Stern, Anne Wissemann, and many others.

If they had not received FLI funding: Kaj Sotala, Katja Grace.

If they needed to transition between institutions/countries: Most of the core EA community.

I have mentioned it as an option for a while, but personally waited for less conflict of interest to actually post about it (at the moment I'm receiving much less funding than I did before, and am receiving some funding through institutions, I wanted to make clear that my goal is not to have people disliking institutions, but to fix the labor market).

I think the greater point here is that this has not been considered so far because people did not even envision it being an option. But now they will.
