I once read a similar nuance in one of Brian Kaplan's articles: If you are a utilitarian, you will create a society that favors neurotic people. If this problem doesn't need to be resolved, why? If I had to solve this problem, how would I solve it?

The concepts are vague and difficult to understand. It seems that more evidence-based research is needed.

Thank you for your courage! I recommend getting career advice from 80,000hours, but recruiting within EA is notoriously difficult. You should also tell us what you can do and what your capabilities are so that we can give you more detailed advice.

Thanks for the feedback! It's fixed now.

Do you believe that altruism actually makes people happy? Peter Singer's book argues that people become happier by behaving altruistically, and psychoanalysis also classifies altruism as a mature defense mechanism. However, there are also concerns about pathological altruism and people pleasers. In-depth research data on this is desperately needed.

I'm not very confident on this topic. I was also evaluated as a very weak-hearted and sensitive person. I don't think it's up to me to discuss whether they exist or not. But it's very difficult because HSPs are a shield for many people. I have observed something close to “covert narcissism.” I would like to point out that they tend to describe themselves as "competent and in need of protection." They want to be overly privileged.

While AI value alignment is considered a serious problem, the algorithms we use every day do not seem to be subject to alignment. That sounds like a serious problem to me. Has no one ever tried to align the YouTube algorithm with our values? What about on other types of platforms?

It is like a seed. Basic trust and support are provided. It is doubtful whether long-term, indefinite provision is necessary. Wouldn’t it be similar to UBI? I don’t know because there is no research. I believe you are begging the question. I can't agree or disagree with the claim that it will soon return to its initial state without any long-term effects. As for the estimate... I'm not sure. I can't think of a good measure or anything yet. I might need a psychologist to help me. Perhaps an estimate for mental health or well-being, but I doubt QALYs or DALYs. But as an initial estimate, it seems like a good measure. Alternatively, it could be expressed as pain relief or social support. I confess I had no intention of doing any serious research, as I was simply asking for an idea. It's more of a question of whether it's worth it.

Hmm, I'm a little confused. If I cook a meal for someone, it doesn't seem to mean much. But if no one is cooking for someone, it is a serious problem and we need to help. Of course, I'm not sure if we're suffering from that kind of "skinship hunger."

I would like to estimate how effective free hugs are. Can anyone help me?
