Early (and peak) Quakers went down some weird ineffective paths. It’s cool that they were into nonviolence and class equality, but they were also really into renaming the days of the week and months of the year to avoid pagan names.
This sounds like hits-based cause selection. The median early Quaker cause area wasn’t particularly effective, but their best cause area was probably worth all of the wasted time in all of the others.
