To respond to one specific point here. I don’t think EA exists to save young people from being taken in by antirationalism. If it acheives that, great, but I don’t think that’s our stated goal and I’m not sure it should be. I guess I worry a bit when PR concerns are ends in themselves rather than instrumental goals.
But maybe I’m wrong? I like helping people become more rational, but do you think it’s underrated by EA currently?
