I don’t comment or post much on the EA forum because the quality of discourse on the EA Forum typically seems mediocre at best. This is especially true for x-risk.
The whole manifund debacle has left me quite demotivated. It really sucks that people are more interested debating contentious community drama, than seemingly anything else this forum has to offer.

I think this has been true for a while.
Any ideas for what we can do to improve it?

Thanks for the reminder, definitely got sucked in too much myself....
Will get back to commenting more on GHD posts and write another of my own soon!
I think there signal vs noise tradeoffs, so I’m naively tempted to retreat toward more exclusivity.
This poses costs of its own, so maybe I’d be in favor of differentiation (some more and some less exclusive version).
Low confidence in this being good overall.
