Sure, sometimes I’ve felt strange hanging around people much younger than me, but the proposed solution is to recruit less students, then the cure is worse than the disease.
In my experience, the EA brand and EA ideas are sufficiently appealing to a fairly broad range of older people
And some older people will end up joining the EA movement, but if we have other “brands”, such as High Impact Professionals [1], we may be able to ensure that a decent number of people who “bounce off” end up joining another brand instead via referal.
It’s way harder to commit to a social movement
Sounds suspiciously like they want a different kind of program more targeted at them =P. And if a program is going to be run, it should aim to develop its own brand.
Personally, I would suggest that they de-emphasise the association with EA. I think a note of the bottom of the page “Part of the EA network” would be enough.
