Episode notes

Money is really kind of a stand-in for influence and power, like the ability to create effects in the world by influencing what other people do. I think if you ask people, you know, is power intrinsically valuable? Is the ability to influence things intrinsically valuable? Then they'll often say yes. MindEase uses scientifically proven exercises to help you relieve stress and anxiety in under 10 minutes.

What are the best strategies for improving ourselves? How are line managers useful? Why does Rob prefer long-form content for the 80,000 Hours podcast? What are the sorts of things humans value and why? In what ways do research ethics considerations fail to achieve their stated objectives? Why are prediction markets useful?
