Interview with Brian Tomasik

Abstract

Brian Tomasik is a member of 80,000 Hours who has spent many years thinking and writing essays about how to most effectively reduce suffering in the world. Research Director Robert Wiblin sat down with Brian (metaphorically) to learn about his intellectual journey and at times unusual conclusions. What were the initial influences that led you to care about doing as much good for the world as possible? I grew up in a family that cared about social issues.
