Signed Huel Bottle by William Macaskill - How Much Can I auction it for?

By Bill Chen @ 2022-10-11T03:57 (+32)

I have a signed bottle of Huel from Macaskill today as I attended his introductory talk in Oxford. I think he was genuinely amused and remarked that even this was a first for him. I was thinking of keeping it or donating to the uni EA Society but if it is one of a kind, then auctioning it off and donating the proceeds to an EA charity (probably GiveWell Maximum Impact Fund) may be an even better option. Any ideas?

This is as chaotic neutral as it gets.

Why neutral? Why not chaotic good?

You have a point!

I hold every single person who downvoted this personally responsible for EA not being more influential earlier. Lighten up people.

Buy & Hold for the next few decades-to-millennia.  First you gotta wait for EA to rise to the peak of its influence -- at minimum, wait 10 years or so for all the idealistic EAs graduating college to get into important mid-career positions as influential politicians / cutting-edge technological researchers / rich businessmen / etc.  (At maximum, wait until EA is widely recognized for being the pivotal 21st-century social movement that eventually led to the creation of a utopian galactic civilization.)  Only then do you sell this signed bottle of Huel, which -- as a sacred relic of humanity's Dawn Era -- will command an astronomical price at auction.

FTX crash may have delayed this by 5 years.

I wonder why this post was downvoted so much without any comment. I think it's quite funny :) Maybe keep the bottle  for now :) but I'd love to see if anyone gives any money for it, just for fun :) I think it could be a nice joke, and people could compete for it just based on the absurdity of the situation :) But yeah. You lost -12 karma points for this post :) Hope I will not loose any thinking this is funny.
