Yes. I didnât even read the âweâ in the initial post as referring to EA, because this doesnât seem at all like something EA would be involved in, because the issue is small-scale (compared to âhundreds of thousands of people die each yearâ or âwe are at risk of extinctionâ), and extremely non-neglected (huge amounts of funding and cultural capital on all âsidesâ of the issue). As you note, the current state of the issue seems to be âasinine and distractingâ.
I read âweâ as âpeople in the broader cultureâ, and the Forum as a place to ask a question about generic problem-solving (which is fine â over the years, people have asked questions about a variety of cause areas that arenât connected to EA).
