The last section — “Problems with the EA community/movement” — was surprising. I was surprised that people in leadership positions at EA or EA-related organizations seemed to feel dismayed and irritated by the EA Forum and the online EA community for many of the same reasons I do.
I guess I feel relieved that they also see these problems, but, on the other hand, this survey is from 2019. I wonder how many respondents since left EA because these things put them off too much — or other things, like the sexual harassment, the racism, etc. If they stayed in EA, I wonder why I don’t get a sense of any leaders in the EA community/movement trying to address these problems.
Wow. This is my first time reading this post.
