It’s been said that EA is vetting constrained, but in some deep sense it’s more like that EA (and the world) is constrained on the amount of people that don’t need to be told what to do.
Great, I feel less crazy when other people have the same thoughts as me. From my comment a week ago:
The high-profile EA orgs are not bottlenecked on “structure” or “network”; they’re bottlenecked because there’s a hundred people requiring management for every one person willing to manage others.
I strongly feel this is incorrect. Coordination is incredibly expensive, is already a major pain point and source of duplication and wasted effort, and having lots of self-directed go-getters will make that worse.
