So, I wouldn’t recommend more EAs just make an uncritical try of doing so again, if for no other reason than it strikes me as a waste of time and effort.
I could imagine that making a spin-off could be pretty simple. It could take a lot of time and effort to keep all the parts integrated. While this may not have been worth it yet, if there were a time that others in the future would estimate the costs as being high to keeping things uniform, spin-offs seem pretty reasonable to me.
The heuristic I use to think about this is to leave the management with the relationship between the EA community and “Group X”, is to let members of the EA community who are part of Group X manage EA’s relationship with Group X.
I in general agree, though I could imagine many situations where people from CEA or similar may want to be involved somewhat to make sure things don’t go wrong.
In this case, I’d assume that William MacAskill is in a really good position to appeal to much of academia. I didn’t mean “absolutely all” of academia before, sorry if that wasn’t clear.
