I appreciate you writing this post. However, I could not understand what are the main arguments and claims you are making from the first sentences or by skimming this post. This is very important because I didn’t end up reading more than that and probably many others won’t as well—it’s very time demanding to read posts on the forum.
It would probably be better if you could write a brief summary at the start and use headers throughout the text. Also, sometimes being more concise is better—more clarity at the expense of perhaps less rigour/persuasion/content.
I think these are generally good norms on the forum. Sorry for not engaging with the content itself.
Hi! Thanks for your feedback and giving me more of an understanding of the type of content intended for the forum. I’ve updated the format to make it a bit more readable and will continue to improve this in any future posts. Please let me know if you have any more thoughts or suggestions.
Very interesting article, thank you. I had not considered a debate around the speed and scale for which EA should be upsized. Perhaps I should state then that this article is mainly for those who already feel more positively towards global EA expansion—I wrote it since I wasn’t able to find great literature on why EA is currently quite small, and if it is even possible for EA to reach the masses, for reasons I discuss in the article.
