my recent critical post [Consider not sleeping around within the community]
This doesn’t really seem like a criticism of EA to me, more of a community health suggestion. I think when ConcernedEAs are saying we’re not receptive to deep critiques, they’re claiming we’re willing to listen to people suggesting we spend 1% less on bednets and 1% more on vitamin supplements, but not people suggesting we should switch from working on AI alignment to ending wealth inequality.
