Thanks for responding, I wasn’t trying to call you out and perhaps shouldn’t have quoted your comment so selectively.
We seem to have opposite intuitions on this topic. My point with this post is that my visceral reaction to these arguments is that I’m being patronized. I even admit that the declining epistemic quality is a legitimate concern at the end of my post.
In some of my other comments I’ve admitted that I could’ve phrased this whole issue better, for sure.
I suppose to me, current charities/NGOs are so bad, and young people feel so powerless to change things, that the core EA principles could be extremely effective if spread.
