Is it because EAs feel helpless in addressing this problem? Do they think it’s simply not neglected enough to be worth the impact?
I think this is part of why EA doesn’t invest much here, along with what Ollie said.
I’m pretty excited about EAs doing good work in politics, but (1) it’s a hard sell from a tractability / neglectedness perspective, & (2) it’s easy to do bad work, so it’s kind of hard to boot up much effort.
