Thanks for clarifying. I just thought I should mention that I interpreted “core value-add” as “most important project or aspect” and I had thought you were saying near-termist projects were the most important project.
Hmm… I’m not sure how much I agree with you regarding muscle memory since the Against Malaria Foundation and Givewell are still running and perhaps as well-funded as ever. Even if EA reduced its donations to AMF by 90% I suspect that the vast majority of “muscle memory” would be retained as I suspect continuity is more important than scale.
