F-Tier
Animal Advocacy
Billions spent, but they still haven't got a single animal to advocate for EA ideas.
AI Safety
It's not clear that we wan't AIs to be safe - they pose a threat to mankind. If anything, we should be trying to kill them.
Rationality
Entirely dominated by wordcels who can't handle surds.
Wild animal suffering
Not neglected. There's trillions of living creatures suffering perfectly well as it is.
S-Tier
Meta-EA
The numbers speak for themselves. Meta was valued at $1.24 trillion, Electronic Arts at $35 billion.
Climate-change
Incredible successful. Everyone in the western world, worth knowing, has a thermostat.
EA Forum
It's important to pay your staff well for the value they create. No organisation pays its staff more per unit value created.
