This is a great question! Especially with the advent of better AI translation, I think thereās a very good argument to be made for asking people to write in whatever language expresses their thoughts most clearly, rather than enforce English as a heavy default.
However, if someone is genuinely committed to having the highest-impact life path possible, ālearn to speak and write English fairly wellā is definitely one of the useful impact skills to develop that sticks with you once you have it, and so people who are ācommitted EAsā learning it should be encouraged wherever possible. (Others include ālearn to cook healthy & tasty foodā, ālearn social/ārelational connection skills and mentalisationā, and ālearn to primarily value things for their usefulness not their statusā).
