I am basically the center of a whisper network, and have a reputation amongst survivors for being “good” at this.
It seems possible to me that you became the center of the EA whisper network by chance even though you’re not in EA (perhaps because you’re not in EA), and that being the center of the EA whisper network is giving you a skewed impression of the per capita number of incidents.
The article mentioned “more than 6,000 attendees at EA global conferences in 2022”. That happens to be about the same number of people as the undergraduate student population at Harvard, Yale, or Princeton. For reference, this list of Title IX coordinators on Yale’s “sexual misconduct” subdomain has 20-30 names on it.
(I don’t mean to discount the experiences of survivors with my comment—Jeff does a good job explaining why comparisons with Harvard/Yale/Princeton could be relevant.)
