“Courts have established procedures for ensuring that both judges and the juries are relatively unbiased, fair, and (somewhat) rational. There’s probably some interesting theory here we could learn from.”
In this analogy, I don’t feel like I’m commenting as a rational member of the jury, I feel like I’m commenting as an emotional witness to the impact of tolerating sexist speech in the EA community.
Yea, I think the court analogy doesn’t mean we should all aim to be “rational”, but that some of the key decision makers and discussion should hold a standard. Having others come in as emotional witnesses makes total sense, especially if it’s clear that’s what’s happening.
