I don’t think I agree that CEA shouldn’t be doing cause specific events, and I think that given how the past couple of Bay Area EAGs went this is a pretty natural decision.
But it does seem pretty regrettable that there’ll be no cause-general EAG in the Americas next year.
Just want to clarify — it’s still possible that there is a cause-general EAG in the Americas next year (I expect slightly more than 50% likely, but this number is semi-made up).
I think the crux for me, is using EAG branding for an event that doesn’t represent all of Effective Altruism. If, like last year, an event will be run by CEA focusing on a particular area, I wouldn’t be too concerned.
