Experientially, I agree: âdoing good betterâ just isnât as inspiring a message as âthe best ways to help othersâ.
With that said:
Wasnât the reason for âdoing good betterâ partially about tamping down maximising messages within the EA community, on account of committed EAs sometimes tending to overmaximise at the cost of their health or their other ethics, then ultimately burn out and quit?
Is it not supposed to provide a more sustainable framework, rather than a more initially personally inspiring one?
So I wouldnât strike it off the whole record just yet.

Yes!
It is, I think, the difference between outreach-oriented messaging and within-community messaging.
I would hope that EA continue to keep a fairly tight lid on the grabbiness of within-community messaging.
