I wrote the following on a draft of this post. For context, I currently do (very) part-time work at EAIF
Overall, I‘m pretty excited to see EAIF orient to a principles-first EA. Despite recent challenges, I continue to believe that the EA community is doing something special and important, and is fundamentally worth fighting for. With this reorientation of EAIF, I hope we can get the EA community back to a strong position. I share many of the uncertainties listed—about whether this is a viable project, how EAIF will practically evaluate grants under this worldview, or if it’s even philosophically coherent. Nonetheless, I’m excited to see what can be done.
