Re 1) I have historically not been very excited about Leverage’s work, and wouldn’t want to support more of it. I think it’s mostly about choice of methodology. I really didn’t like that Leverage was very inwards focused, and am a lot more excited about people developing techniques like this by trying to provide value to people who aren’t working at the same organization as the person developing the technique (though Leverage also did that a bit in the last few years, though not much early on, as far as I can tell). Also, Leverage seemed to just make a bunch of assumptions about how the mind works that seemed wrong to me (as part of the whole “Connection Theory” package), and Logan seems to make fewer of those.
Logan also strikes me as a lot less insular, and I also have a bunch of specific opinions on Leverage that would take a while to get into that make me less excited about funding Leverage stuff.
Re 2) Will write something longer about this in a few days. Just had a quick minute in-between a bunch of event and travel stuff in which I had time to write the above.
