What does “blow it up” mean for an EA who decides the culture is beyond fixing, but who doesn’t have significant power within the community? Is it leaving the community in search for a better one to do good in?
Pretty much, yeah, along with exposing bad actors if you judge it safe to do so. There are plenty of non-EA orgs doing work that is effective, you can work them them and try and bring in principles of effectiveness.
Also toxic communities are inherently unsustainable, eventually enough people will leave that a splinter group can be made.
