Thanks for synthesizing a core point that several recent posts have been getting at! I especially want to highlight the importance of creating a community that is capable of institutionally recognizing + rewarding + supporting failure.
What can the EA community do to reward people who fail? And—equally important—how can the community support people who fail? Failing is hard, in no small part because it’s possible that failure entails real net negative consequences, and that’s emotionally challenging to handle.
With a number of recent posts around failure transparency (one, two, three), it seems like the climate is ripe for someone to come up with a starting point.
