Portions of this reform package sound to my ears like the dismantling of EA and its replacement with a new movement, Democratic Altruism (“DA”)
I like the choice to distill this into a specific cluster.
I think this full post definitely portrays a very different vision of EA than what we have, and than what I think many current EAs want. It seems like some particular cluster of this community might be in one camp, in favor of this vision.
If that were the case, I would also be interested in this being experimented with, by some cluster. Maybe even make a distinct tag, “Democratic Altruism” to help organize conversation on it. People in this camp might be most encouraged to directly try some of these proposals themselves.
I imagine there would be a lot of work to really put forward a strong idea of what a larger “Democratic Altruism” would look like, and also, there would be a lengthy debate on its strengths and weaknesses.
Right now I feel like I keep on seeing similar ideas here being argued again and again, without much organization.
(That said, I imagine any name should come from the group advocating this vision)
Yeah, I would love to see people go out and try this experiment and I like the tag “democratic altruism”. There’s a chance that if people with this vision were to have their own space, then these tensions might ultimately dissipate.
