Hi Denise, on the second point, I agree that might be a factor (I mention it briefly in the article) among others (such as people changing their minds as in David’s data). My main point is that this means the problem we face today is more like “people are bouncing off / leaving EA because the most engaged ~2000 people focus on unusual causes” rather than “the leaders don’t represent the most engaged 2000 people”.
