I actually have a draft of an EA Forum post that I’ve been sitting on for a while about this. So far I’m labelling the idea as something like “privileging the fortunate.” If anyone reading this would like to poke around my Google Doc and give me feedback, please let me know. I’d be very happy to have some help in transforming a rough collection of ideas into an EA Forum post.
I’ll quickly flag that I might recommend the workflow of:
Write up a bunch of thoughts on shortform. Maybe flag that this work is early, if you want.
Try to get feedback there.
If you still want to make it into a post, then at this point you’ll be in a better place to do so.
Personally, I feel more comfortable giving most feedback in public spaces like this. That way, if I give a lengthy comment, others can see it. I’m used to settings where I’d spend a lot of time commenting on someone’s Google Doc, for a reader count of 1, and typically most comments are ignored anyway.
Could you say a bit more about what you want to do about the draft? I assume you would want to criticize/comment on “privileging the fortunate”? And what goals you want to achieve the draft? Thanks!
Sure. What I want to do is get input to figure out if there are any ideas in the draft (or versions of those ideas) that are worth sharing, which I would then make into a post. Some of the ideas in the draft are probably just ramblings or otherwise not really worth sharing
