What a fantastic post, thank you so so much for writing this. 1. I don’t often get to hear from people in EA who deeply committed to one path to impact and have long-term experience with it. It’s incredibly valuable to hear from someone who has built up so much context around the path and can describe it in different phases, rather than the shorter stints I more often hear about (which are valuable in their own way of course, but more common).
2. Yeah, I’ve been involved since 2019-ish and never considered earning-to-give, yet distinctly noticed and remember the tonal shift against it that seemed to crop up out of no where (partly because I wasn’t consciously following EtG advice at all, so when ideas around it reached me I was like, oh vibe is negative now?). Like felt distinctly negatively valenced rather than just a neutral “we no longer recommend this,” idk. I imagine this did feel like suddenly being “turned on,” and I appreciate you bringing attention to that experience. I’m pretty sad to hear that.
THANK YOU thank you for all the money you and your wife have given.
