Katja is widely respected amongst the rationalists and, according to Hive, she is one of the most followed/respected EA accounts. But she doesn't give off the same vibe as many impact olympians. She doesn’t have iron self-will, nor does she manage a huge team. She's hasn't got all the facts at her fingertips. But she has got something, I’m confident of that. How can I be more like her?

Hi everyone! I’ll be doing an Ask Me Anything (AMA) here. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below. I will aim to answer them by Monday, July 24. Who am I? I’m Peter. I co-founded Rethink Priorities (RP) with Marcus A. Davis in 2018. Previously, I worked as a data scientist in industry for five years. I’m an avid forecaster. I’ve been known to tweet here and blog here. What does Rethink Priorities do?

The post contains a reflection on our journey as co-founders of Rethink Priorities. We are Peter Wildeford and Marcus A. Davis.  In 2017, we were at a crossroads. We had been working on creating new global health and development interventions, co-founding an organization that used text message reminders to encourage new parents in India to get their children vaccinated.
