Thanks! I always appreciate engagement and would be very happy to see any of my posts discussed on the EA Forum, either as linkposts or not.
I need a bit more independence than the EA Forum can provide. I want to write for a diverse audience in a way that isn’t beholden primarily to EA opinions, and I want to be clear that while much of my blog discusses issues connected to effective altruism, and while I agree with effective altruists on a great many philosophical points, I am not an effective altruist.
For that reason, I tend not to post much on the EA Forum, though I do try to comment when I can. I’d be happy to comment at least to some degree on any linkpost, and I’m always very responsive to comments on my blog.
I appreciate this can be a bit frustrating, but I need to be clear about who I am and who my audience is.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. That makes sense. I don’t consider myself an EA, and read EA Forum 80% out of intellectual interest, 20% out of altruistic motives, so I’ll leave my end of the conversation here (and perhaps subscribe to your blog!), but from the upvotes on your suggestion of a blog update, seems like it met with significant interest among EA Forum readers, so I’d encourage you to do that!

Agreed, and will do!
