My guess is that a reply to my comment above would be:
“Ok, fine, but this rationalizes more effective, better managed, and larger teams for higher impact, since we’re earlier on the “curve of returns to labor” than it appears and can accept more labor and capital.
Furthermore, I can, and have been, provisioning this management and setting these conditions, so the argument applies and strong EAs should join my awesome team.
Also, hasn’t it been a few months since your last forum ban?”
This is true. One reply to this reply, is that this implies EA organizations should be systemically larger than other organizations (due to the OP’s reasoning of internalizing externalities and other conditions, see footnote 1 in above comment).
This is interesting, but doesn’t immediately doesn’t match our intuition or the general size of EA orgs, which are small (but maybe this is masked by the limited supply of high quality EA talent).
If Ben West’s logic in the OP holds, this might have other implications that are important or interesting (again this is relying on EAs differentially supporting externalities).
