For example, it seems like far more of these incidence are occurring in the rationalist community than in the EA community, despite the overlap between the two. It also seems like way more is happening in the bay area than in other places.
I don’t think your model sufficiently explains why would be the case
One explanation could simply be that social pressure in non-rationalist EA mostly pushes people towards “boring” practices rather than “extreme” practices.
