For better or worse, most of the world runs on persuasion, and PR matters. The nuanced truth doesn’t matter that much for social reality, and EA should ideally be persuasive and control social reality.
I think the extent to which nuanced truth does not matter to “most of the world” is overstated.
I additionally think that EA should not be optimizing for deceiving people who belong to the class “most of the world”.
Both because it wouldn’t be useful if it worked (realistically most of the world has very little they are offering) and because it wouldn’t work.
I additionally think think that trying to play nitwit political games at or around each hecking other would kill EA as a community and a movement dead, dead, dead.
