There’s a lot to unpack in that tweet. I think something is going on like:
fighting about who is really the most virtuous
being upset people aren’t more focused on the things you think are important
being upset that people claim status by doing things you can’t or won’t do
being jealous people are doing good doing things you aren’t/can’t/won’t do
virtue signaling
righteous indignation
spillover of culture war stuff going on in SF
None of it looks like a real criticism of EA, but rather of lots of other things EA just happens to be adjacent to.
Doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to be addressed or isn’t an issue, but I think also worth keeping these kinds of criticisms in context.
