EA aims to be cause neutral, but there is actually quite a lot of consensus in the EA movement about what causes are particularly effective right now.
Actually, notice that the consensus might be based more on internal culture, because founder effects are still quite strong. That being said I think the community puts effort in remaining cause neutral, and that’s good.
I don’t think a consensus on what cause is most effective is incompatible with cause-neutrality as it’s usually conceived (which I called cause-impartiality here).

Makes sense, and I agree
