  • Peter Hartree worked at 80,000 Hours for multiple years, and was interested in exploring a broader career shift – to take more time to study and think about core longtermist problem areas.
  • He received great references from his colleagues at 80k, and I am generally in favor of people at EA organizations reconsidering their career trajectory once in a while and being financially supported while doing so (especially given that current salaries at most EA organizations make building runway for this kind of reflection hard).
  • Note: We recommended this grant to a private funder, rather than funding it through LTFF donations, since “independent study” is sometimes hard to prove public benefit for.
