I assume you don’t have a problem with it when people are making the claim specifically about EA, as opposed to the wider world?
Like if I said “Building teams that come from a variety of relevant backgrounds and diverse demographics is neglected in EA”, even if you disagreed with the statement, you probably wouldn’t mind the “neglected in EA” part?
Although I agree that “neglected in EA” often leads to lazy writing… I think the argument above could be phrased a lot more clearly.
hummm. I don’t know about your specific example; I would need an argument for why it’s better to have this “in the EA community”. but yeah, there are things that can be “neglected in the EA community” if they are specific to the community. like someone to help resolve conflicts within the community for example. so thanks for the clarification. I should specify that the ‘X’ in my original comment was element of general {Interventions, Causes}, and not about the health of the community.
