It is wrong to quote others in a way that misrepresents their view like this.
This has bothered me quite a lot. I have been clear and consistent that I think that education has intrinsic value and have focused on that aspect. This can be seen from comments and posts on the forum.
I had no intent to mislead, I don’t see what I wrote as misleading or misrepresenting. I quoted accurately and linked to the source.
If anything it is the EA community that is misleading folks. “Development” is widely understood to include education when used in the context of “developing” countries or the global poor. Saying “Global Development” and not including education is extremely misleading it took me 2 years of immersion in EA to finally understand that EA folks don’t include education when talking about “Global Development”

Maybe you should do a podcast on this.
The following URL needs to be fixed to say “Global Health and Income” or “Global Health and Poverty”, right now it’s misleading. https://www.effectivealtruism.org/articles/cause-profile-global-health-and-development/
