You have a lot of great ideas, the one trend I see that aligns with some of my thoughts is a general sense that “EA Culture” is not for everyone and how that informs our outreach. I personally love EA culture, but I’m also not a STEM person and I clearly see how some people might refer to EA culture as “borg-like” as Jenn reported in her forum piece, https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/5oTr4ExwpvhjrSgFi/things-i-learned-by-spending-five-thousand-hours-in-non-ea just the other day. I also appreciate Vanessa’s comments below and she seems to be killing it in her work. Also below zchuang seems to hit it on the head that there’s been a weird confluence of events; FTX, WWOTH dropping as LLM’s hit the stage publicly, and Covid-19 changing things...if ever there was a time for re-thinking and pivoting on our direction, it’s now.
