I felt like this post just said that the person had some idiosyncratic reasons they did not like EA, so they left. Well, great, but I’m not sure how that helps anyone else.
Here’s a thought I think is more useful. For a long time I have been talking anonymously about politics online. Lately I think this is pointless because it’s too disconnected from anything I can accomplish. The tractability of these issues for me is too low. So to encourage myself to think more efficiently, and to think mainly about issues I can do something about, I’m cutting out all anonymous online talk about big social issues. In general, I’m going to keep anonymous communications to a minimum.
