The post on the Effective Altruism Forum, titled “Nonlinear’s Evidence: Debunking False and Misleading Claims,” is a detailed rebuttal of claims made against the organization Nonlinear. It discusses accusations made by individuals named Alice and Chloe about their experiences working with Nonlinear, involving issues like financial misrepresentation, work conditions, and personal treatment. The post includes extensive evidence, such as contracts, recordings, and screenshots, to refute these claims and offers a hypothesis about the origins of the misunderstandings. It also touches upon the importance of mental health and the handling of personal grievances within the Effective Altruism community.
