I… Do think I don’t want public statements. I would like public conversations, and indeed a process of slow internal drafting and honing feels more likely to harm in this case, than to help.
I think the big statements and official takes should take many weeks. The situation is confusing, and I don’t think we know what lessons to take away from this, and I desperately don’t want us to rush out what lessons we are supposed to learn from this.
But what I want in the meantime is presence. Sharing info so that people are better placed to form their own takes. Thinking together with people and pointing out flaws in each other’s arguments. I prefer comments over top-level posts and list of observations over calls for action and lessons learned. Speaking as individuals instead of speaking as organizations.
