I like the call to action—I think there are lots of CBers frustrated about the system they find themselves in who don’t feel empowered to do anything about it. When I wrote the post you referenced, I had a bunch of organisers tell me how much it changed their group’s trajectory just by echoing ideas they had that they wouldn’t act on by default. More legibility of the agency CBers have seems really needed; showing people they don’t have to blindly follow a default path seems to happen scarily little, so I appreciate the post—would love to see more like it!
Thanks a lot Sam! I’m really glad you wrote that post as it was one of the things that made me feel less alone in thinking about this. And yes, the agency point is something I wanted CBs to actually feel. I do feel there are still some topics to explore furthere here, nevertheless

You might be interested in looking into Impact First (London) as an alternative to “EA Groups”, which shares more of my CB philosophy
