Hey! I'm Edo, married + 2 cats, I live in Tel-Aviv, Israel, and I feel weird writing about myself so I go meta.
I'm a mathematician, I love solving problems and helping people. My LinkedIn profile has some more stuff.
I'm a forum moderator, which mostly means that I care about this forum and about you! So let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
I'm currently working full-time at EA Israel, doing independent research and project management. Currently mostly working on evaluating the impact of for-profit tech companies, but I have many projects and this changes rapidly.

I don't think that expanding compassion to animals leads to reduced compassion for aunts and other humans. It could make one's choices benefit humaunts less, but that's arguably desirable.
I do agree that when we find ourselves dispassionate or hateful towards others that's a sign that we may have stepped wrong at some point in our journey to do the most good
Interesting idea! Seems like locusts are halal (same as in Judaism), but that may not be relevant.

Great idea!
If it'd be helpful, I ran a 4 session workshop for people in my local community on "EA research methods": https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VQfVbZSZow_Oq24cnRQpFzykHzIdcG8Jmjx6ctRFxRg/edit#heading=h.e6lzi7r45ez
