Upvoted: you’re pointing to an important tension (truth-telling vs inclusiveness).
However I don’t believe this requires the movement to split. There are more and less skilful ways to tell the truth and there are more and less skilful ways to be inclusive.
Both are important to our mission. We can continue to improve at both.
We can’t simply aim to maximise one or the other, though. E.g. Even if someone valued truth-telling above all else, a lack of inclusiveness would keep the movement small, controversial and marginalised.
I think the crux is that the first commenter thinks EA is near the pareto frontier of rationality-warmth, so in practice we can’t improve both, we must pull to one or the other side.
