I don’t have well-formed views here, but some quick notes:
Investors and researchers who don’t believe in your stances or leadership can probably exit and form new companies, and if they do believe, you don’t necessarily need to buy shares to get them to listen.
There are transition costs. Forming a new company is nontrivial.
People aren’t going to just change companies immediately because they disagree with your strategic direction a little, so there are soft stuff you can do.
Even within the EA community there’s disagreement on safety/capabilities tradeoffs, or what safety work actually works. I wonder how you’ll pick good leadership for this that all of the EA community is comfortable with.
The bar isn’t an amazing thing with consensus opinion that it’s amazing, the bar is most decisionmakers think it’s better than the status quo, or more precisely, better than the “status quo + benefits of offsetting CO2”
