Quadratic Funding x Effective Altruism

The Effective Altruism community is highly rationalist and somewhat contrarian to collaborative, bottoms-up governance as in Gitcoin Grants. Therefore, we should be careful in sorting / prioritizing grants and nudging the community given some technocratic metrics of GPG or other centralized entities.

Many critical contexts can’t be formalized and simplified into one or two metrics. So how would we measure “impact” really in a reasonably universal manner?

Here are some interesting thoughts on the issues of technocracy and the Effective Altruism movement: Why I Am Not A Technocrat - RadicalxChange.
