Either way, the effect is I really haven’t felt like I’ve had too many discussion in EA about diversity. It’s not like it’s my favourite topic or anything.
It’s extremely hard to generalize here because different geographies have such different stories to tell, but my personal take is that the level of (public) discussion about diversity within EA has dipped somewhat over time.
When I wrote the Pandora’s Box 2.5 years ago, I remember being sincerely worried that low-quality discussion of the issue would swamp a lot of good things that EA was accomplishing, and I wanted build some consensus before that got out of hand. I can’t really imagine feeling that way now.
