criticisms of EAs, as individuals and as a movement
For example, EA individuals tend to have a left-wing bias (and when the survey’s results are released hopefully we’ll have data on this) but this isn’t inherent to EA ideals—many EA ideals are quite right wing.
You make criticisms of EA as individuals out like it’s not interesting. But if you called it “EA in practice”, then it would seem like something that can also be usefully criticised.
It seems worthwhile to differentiate between
criticisms of EA as an idea
criticisms of EAs, as individuals and as a movement

Sorry, that wasn’t my intention. I think both can be valuable.
