Something to try to dispel the notion that every EA thinker is respected/​ thought highly of by every EA community member. Like, you tend to hear strong positive feedback, weak positive feedback, and strong negative feedback, but weak negative feedback is kind of awkward and only comes out sometimes

I’ve been thinking a bunch about whether it would be better if we had slightly more bridgewater-ish norms on net (I don’t know the actual structure that underlies that and makes it work), where we’re just like yeah, that person has these strengths, these weaknesses, these things people disagree on, they know it too, it’s not a deep dark secret.
Edit: This is now The illusion of consensus about EA celebrities
