The aggregate portfolio of Open Phil and Good Ventures is quite bad for the world… I also genuinely think you are causing pretty huge harm for the world.
Can you elaborate on this? Your previous comments explain why you think OP’s portfolio is suboptimal, but not why you think it is actively harmful. It sounds like you may have written about this elsewhere.
This comment overall isn’t obviously immediately relevant
My experience of reading this thread is that it feels like I am missing essential context. Many of the comments seem to be responding to arguments made in previous, perhaps private, conversations. Your view that OP is harmful might not be immediately relevant here, but I think it would help me understand where you are coming from. My prior (which is in line with your prediction that the vast majority of readers would disagree with your comment) is that OP is very good.

He recently made this comment on LessWrong, which expresses some of his views on the harm that OP causes.
