I guess I’m saying that getting into social justice is more like “instant gratification”, and joining EA is more like “playing the long game” / “taking relative pain now for a huge payoff later”.
Also / alternatively, maybe getting into social justice is impressing one group of people but making another group of people massively dislike you (and making a lot of people shrug their shoulders), whereas when the correctness of EA is known to all, having got in early will lead to brownie points from everyone.
So maybe the subgroup is “most people at some future time” or something?
(hopefully it’s clear, but I’m ~trying to argue from the point of view of the post; I think this is fun to think about but I’m not sure how much I really believe it)
