“Much of Kat and Emerson’s effective altruist work focuses on mentoring young effective altruists and incubating organizations. I believe the balance of the evidence—much of it from their own defense of their actions—shows that they are hilariously ill-suited for that job.”
I don’t think that the recent posts give a balanced view of their work (e.g. I haven’t seen any section anywhere titled ‘Positive things Nonlinear did/achieved’). I don’t think there is enough information to judge to what extent they are suitable for their mentoring/incubating job.
In an attempt to bring in some balancing anecdote, I personally have had positive experiences doing regular coaching calls with Kat over the past year and feel that her input has been very helpful.

Not my conclusion! I only linked to the post/copied and reformatted the text—the author is Ozy Brennan.
Ah I’m sorry, I only scanned the post and missed your sentence at the top. Thanks!
