I feel really bad that you feel like you need to duck here, though I can understand why.
Ideally, I think that red-teaming EA should just really be central to EA.
I think some key people do things like this, but it’s tough for junior people to do, because it’s really hard to tell between “a good person doing a red-team” from a “grumpy and disgruntled person.”
For those (brave) reading this, I do recommend more red-teaming, but I would note that it needs to be done a bit carefully.
For those particularly daring, you can red-team the EA funders :)

Thanks Ozzie! Glad to see I’m still welcome here!!
I’m sold on the idea of red-teaming (especially for EA and for red-teaming the idea of red-teaming itself). A few concerns:
I have no idea where to begin to start working at red-teaming
I have no idea if I’d even be any good at red-teaming
Sorry, maybe these concerns have already been covered really well and I missed it. Thanks!
