    Scroll down: Potentially promising problem areas we haven’t yet rated: "Foreign policy and peace – especially as a strategy to reduce catastrophic risks." "Advocating increased taxation of the super rich." "ideas Y Combinator is interested in" (Which contain wealth restribution) The one I care most about: "Medical research into how to slow ageing " Their link too me to http://www.nickbostrom.com/aging/aging.html http://www.nickbostrom.com/aging/aging.html which I was happy to see such a smart dude on board.

    > No mention of poverty, health, education, war. "Developing world health" is number 7 on the list. Also - 80,000 Hours aren't saying those causes should be ignored, but that they're currently not neglected - plenty of people are already working on them. The list isn't of 'the best causes', it's 'what causes we think are the most important at the margin'.
