For me, most of the value I get out of commenting in EA-adjacent spaces comes through tasting the ways in which I gently care about our causes and community. (Hopefully it is tacit that one of the many warm flavors of that value for me is in the outcomes our conversations contribute to.)
But I suspect that many of you are like me in this way, and also that, in many broad senses, former EAs have different information than the rest of us. Perhaps the feedback we hear when anyone shares some of what they’ve learned before they go will tend to be less rewarding for them to share, and more informative to us to receive, than most other feedback. In that spirit, I’d like to affirm that it’s valuable to have people in similar positions to Lila’s share. Thanks to Lila for doing so.
