If our team could be having more impact working on other things and that us existing and them being currently bought into the case for impact is the reason they don’t.
We poison the well/turn people off/create misconceptions etc we don’t live up to our standards (e.g. quality and tone).
That being said I think that generally speaking GWWC is one of the lower downside risk options within the EA community (especially compared with some of the (potential or actual) longtermist projects which I often worry much more about potential downsides or accidentally doing harm – in the active sense as opposed to the opportunity cost harm).
If you have some in mind yourself I’d happy hear them out 😀
