This writing may be addressing the risk of rejection of EA due to its consideration of individuals. Prima facie, the post claims that “we don’t extend empathy to everyone and everything,” but it implies that the opposite should be the case with one’s thinking development. The post seeks to gain authority by critiquing others. It does not invite collaborative critical thinking.
Thus, readers can aspire to critique others based on their ‘extent of empathy,’ which can mean the consideration of broad moral circles, without developing the skill of inviting critical thinking on various EA-related concepts.
This readers’ approach can constitute a reputational loss risk to the EA community among creative problem solvers while inviting hierarchically-minded persons who seek to gain status by reproducing notions.
While inviting participants in hierarchical structures which do not celebrate critical thinking may be important for the EA community, I suggest that the critical thinkers in these systems are invited first. Thus, I recommend that a critical discussion is joined with this piece, in order to encourage critically thinking hierarchically-minded individuals to share EA-related ideas in their networks in a way favorable to these networks’ participants.
