Does EAG recognize them as novel, unexplored, needing a boost?
You are doing important impactful good things! That’s what matters!!
Of course recognition is important and you absolutely deserve recognition. In addition you are completely reasonable to feel bad about things you know technically shouldn’t be so hurtful. But you’re human and they ARE hurtful. It’s okay to feel hurt. Please recognize your desires and needs. Live your best life for yourself and everyone.
EAG isn’t measuring how good you are, at best how communicable your efforts are. Some things are crutial but mundane. (They can be the most important!) Some things are exciting but too in-depth. Some things are simply not communicated verbally. Some things have finally achieved recognition and success. And some things are neglected within EA.
Congratulations on being in one of these (or other) vital areas!
Keep up the good work, we need you! And others like you!
Additional thoughts:
If I’m one of the people with best EA ideas, then I’d be much more worried about how dire the situation is! It’s perfectly normal not to be one of the hundreds of people out of the millions best suited for this years conversation. The movement has gotten huge. It is tracking so many subjects, and that’s a wonderful thing. Unfortunately not everyone gets to go. That’s reality and it’s not your or anyone’s fault.
I’m happiest thinking of it as a great event for great people doing some specialized things. They aren’t perfect and EA is so. so. SO. much bigger than EAG.
Take care. I’m excited for you and where you go next.
I’m going to flip the script a bit.
Are you doing important, impactful, good things?
