Ok, I mostly agree with you, but let’s reframe as a devil’s advocate: what if “EA” is a shaky concept in the first place (doesn’t carve reality at joints)? Would you then agree that borders should be redrawn to have a more coherent mission, even if that ends up cutting out some bits of the “old EA”?
I think we can manage to have different enclaves of EA with different norms, that still broadly agree and play nicely with each other. As a community organizer I hope to get a better idea of what different groups value so I can navigate these situations better.
Could you explain a bit more as to what you’re proposing?
