Ah okay, thanks for explaining. Sounds like by “pushing for moral circle expansion as a cause area”, you meant “pushing for moral circle expansion via direct advocacy” or something more specific like that. When I and others have talked about “moral circle expansion” as something that we should aim for, we’re usually including all sorts of more or less direct approaches to achieving those goals.
(For what it’s worth, I do think that the direct moral advocacy is an important component, but it doesn’t have to be the only or even main one for you to think moral circle expansion is a promising cause area.)
