Triaging mental phenomena or: leveling up the stack trace skill
DavidRV9y00

Would you mind giving an example or two of how you've done deliberate practice? I always have trouble finding ways to exercise mental skills when I'm not being forced to use them.

How does personality vary across US cities?

Fascinating that the high-extroversion cities are places I know well, while the low-extroversion cities are places I've never heard of.

GiveWell also perceives its audience as uninterested in higher expected value but higher risk options.

Doesn't seem entirely plausible, given that GiveWell's second-highest rated charity and several of the other next-ranked charities are acknowledged to likely have close-to-zero impact, in exchange for high expected value. They don't seem to shy away from a cause just because they perceive it as high-risk.
