Hi Jonas. On taking a second look, the sentence that clinched me interpreting your argument as being for a name change from EA to GP (or something else) was:
“ I personally would feel excited about rebranding “effective altruism” to a less ideological and more ideas-oriented brand (e.g., “global priorities community”, or simply “priorities community”)”
I will make a note that you aren’t advocating a name change. You may want to consider making this clearer in your post as well :)
If you look back at Jonas’ post a name change was just a “potential implication”, alongside other steps to “de-emphasize the EA brand”. I wouldn’t say therefore that he is advocating a name change, just putting the idea out there.
Also he certainly doesn’t advocate changing it to “Global Priorities” specifically as you have claimed. It was just one very tentative idea he had (clue is in the use of “e.g.”).
EDIT: re-tracted as I thought AllAmericanBreakfast still thought Jonas was advocating for a name change but I misread
