I think so, yes. Part of why, for example, I was and am critical of CEA’s leadership’s response to the recent sexual harassment report is because I believe we as a community generallyare often capable of and desirous of achieving a higher standard than top universities and workplaces, which I think you believe too, based on the data in this post! My guess is that we’re fundamentally on the same page, but I don’t want to assume this.
I think I probably agree yes, though I am a bit uncertain about how hard the marginal gains are past some point.
Do you think most forum commenters think that EA is doing better than many universities and workplaces? Like do you think they share your view of a significantly higher standard? Do you think if someone commented “we are doing as well as many other communities, but we have more to do” they would upvote and agree with that?
So in your head you are aiming for a significantly higher bar than top universities and workplaces?

No idea—I don’t have nearly enough to go off of. Curious what you learn, though.
So to be clear, you don’t hold a position on whether the community actually holds the view that you do?
Like if I found another 10 comments that seem to imply that EA is unusually bad, would you agree that it’s a common view?
