I enjoyed reading this take from Robert! It’s a sincerely fun, refreshing, and erudite perspective. I am grateful to him for putting in the time to write such a thoughtful account.
I resonate with his points, especially his observations about many EAs being “young and lost”. I found EA at a time when I was soul searching, and its frameworks helped me identify what impact could mean. But I don’t fit the college EA group demographic, and I notice that some younger EAs struggle with self-assuredness. So it makes me happy that people approached the tent and attended the talk at the conference. Robert & Co’s comms experience would no doubt be alluring and helpful.
As exub2a writes in ep 3 of his Catastrotivity podcast: when a benevolent, friendly critic gives you advice, listening can only help you. Robert strikes me as one of these true allies in the fight to make the world a better place.
