There are also intelligent, thoughtful people outside of LW.

Also, while I agree that keeping the tone among EAs thoughtful, I would be extremely sad if we didn’t encourage particular people or groups from being interested in EA because they aren’t “intelligent enough.”

  This is also how the movement gets an elitist reputation that seems quite harmful.
