I think he is pretty clearly an EA given he used to help run the Future Fund, or at most an only very recently ex-EA. Having said that, it’s not clear to me this means that “EAs” are at fault for everything he does.
Yeah again I just think this depends on one’s definition of EA, which is the point I was trying to make above.
Many people have turned away from EA, both the beliefs, institutions, and community in the aftermath of the FTX collapse. Even Ben Todd seems to not be an EA by some definitions any more, be that via association or identification. Who is to say Leopold is any different, or has not gone further? What then is the use of calling him EA, or using his views to represent the ‘Third Wave’ of EA?
I guess from my PoV what I’m saying is that I’m not sure there’s much ‘connective tissue’ between Leopold and myself, so when people use phrases like “listen to us” or “How could we have done” I end up thinking “who the heck is we/us?”
