I appreciate this in part because the Lewis Bollard comment has stuck with me, but being a comment, it’s just not ideal to link to when making this argument. It’s nice to have a moderately concise and very readable piece making the same case with varied examples, coming from someone with an activist background who is less likely to get the charge that gets thrown around occasionally that EAs reject conventional social movements because they don’t like the aesthetics, or because they just don’t find it easy enough to run a CEA on them.
