So, say I wanted to understand EA better. What are the key books to read before I start lurking at EA forums? So far “the Precipice” sounds fun, but I’m also interested in general approach to morality and choices (trolley problem, focus on being vegan explained)

wish there was better general purpose material out there!
there are some good books (The Precipice, Doing Good Better, etc.)
There's also ftxfuturefund.org which has some info on what we're doing
and I think a forthcoming landing site, too
Loved listening to and talk about crypto and effective altruism on the podcast

Fix future fund is not open at the moment, do you know when it will open again? I was scammed by Affecting Lives Foundation (they claimed to be promoted and funded by you, so I trusted them )

Peter Singer's books "Why Vegan?" & "Animal Liberation" will help you think about veganism. For the trolley problem, the third option is best.
