In the long run, I think the best way to make the EA community a healthy place is to optimize somewhat for weirdness as a secondary consideration, but mostly just optimize for a community that’s honest, high-integrity, brave, compassionate, smart, skillful, thoughtful, self-aware, etc.
One thing I’d add is that optimizing directly for *safe for everyone* is also important.
(I also think we should be better about reducing conflicts of interest, which is different than “high-integrity” in that it is verifiable.)
