If there are willing volunteers, I would like to see an adversarial collaboration. Reading through the comments, it is tricky to dis-entangle what people mean, what are the fundamental disagreements, what are the facts of the matter, whether somebody (accidentally) mis-represented somebody else or even themselves, etc.
Some disagreements I see are: - To what extent are the particular individuals ‘bad people / racist / eugenicists’ - How much should the EA community influence the norms of and/or associate with the rationality/forecasting community - Where the line is between absolute free speech vs moderation for different events (e.g. manifest, or eags, or …).
Additionally, I would be interested in some kind of prediction markets to resolve some of the empirical questions. E.g. What percentage of EAs would say ‘agree’ or ‘strongly agree’ to the statement ‘person X should not have been an invited speaker to manifest’. Note I am new to prediction markets so am not comfortable setting up a question like this which does not have an objective resolution.
