I really liked this post, and I felt like I understood both characters’ views super well. I feel like this type of writing often makes one character a strawman, but I didn’t feel that at all in this case. Great job!
Effective altruism in the garden of ends doesn’t look too related but it’s the real progenitor of this post, because it catalyzed my thinking about doing good in a more expansive way than we normally think of, so I wanted to shout it out too :)

+1, I really liked this post, and found it very kind / empathetic on both sides! I think this is maybe now my favorite post in this genre.
Other posts I like which feel related:
EA disillusionment
“It’s ok to leave EA” (different vibe)
EA-break, EA-slow
Leaving a line of retreat (slightly different audience)
Thanks for writing this :)
