Are you a writer who cares about evidence, & is annoyed by the media's tendency to focus on whatever topics are new & shiny even if they're unimportant in the big scheme of things? If so, you should apply to write for Vox's new site on effective altruism: https://boards.greenhouse.io/voxmedia/jobs/1240850?gh_jid=1240850 …

But srsly, what are the chances that Vox could handle EA topics with any degree of rationality and objectivity, given that they handle everything else as sensationalist partisan clickbait?

Regardless of your views on Vox, wouldn't you rather the people they hire for their EA site to be as high quality thinkers as possible?

@ezraklein and co would crush the most rigorous work by the best thinkers they hire to maintain their editorial line.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -
Especially if good EA work challenged the cause prioritizations of social justice activists.

Idk man, I've talked to Dylan (who's going to be running the site) about his views on EA, we don't agree about everything but he's clearly not just a "using EA as a fig leaf for social justice activism" guy
