I’m curious whether the reason why EA may be perceived as a cult while, e.g., environmentalist and social justice activism are not, is primarily that the concerns of EA are much less mainstream.
I appreciate the suggestions on how to make EA less cultish, and I think they are valuable to implement, but I don’t think they would have a significant effect on public perception of whether EA is a cult.
