I’ve known Kat Woods for as long as Eric Chisholm has. I first met Eric several years before either of us first got involved in the EA or rationality communities. I had a phone call with him a few hours ago letting him know that this screencap was up on this forum. He was displeased you didn’t let him know yourself that you started this thread.
He is extremely busy for the rest of the month. He isn’t on the EA Forum either. Otherwise, I don’t speak for Eric. I’ve also made my own reply in the comment thread Eric started on Eliezer’s Facebook post. I’m assuming you’ll see the rest of that comment thread on Facebook too.
You can send me a private message to talk or ask me about whatever, or not, as you please. I don’t know who you are.
It appears that Nonlinear has reached out to several individuals, likely more than one, to request positive comments about their interactions. To maintain a balanced perspective and offer a more comprehensive view, it would be fair and valuable to share experiences from the other side of the spectrum. This would be especially beneficial for those who have only encountered positive interactions with Nonlinear and may benefit from a more well-rounded understanding.
Have people seen this?

For anyone else curious, here is a Google Doc I’ve started writing up about the origins of the EA and rationality groups in Vancouver.

I don’t personally think posting this here is particularly helpful or adds much to the conversation.
