Not 2) haha. Yes, they are very similar. There is a subtext that specific policies are more important than sweeping philosophies, as you say in 1).
But I also genuinely think they are good policies and it is useful to have them written down, in ways that can appeal to different kinds of audiences (outside EA maybe).
Downvoted this post, but not the other near-identical post.
I question the value of this format, as opposed to a post that makes the subtext explicit and just presents a single list of policies with the socialist and capitalist language together. Sometimes, being ironic and using subtext works well (I liked it in your meat consumption/donation post), but in this case I’m imagining someone reading this post, then reading the other one, then becoming annoyed that they wasted some time being “tricked” in a place where we’re meant to focus on clarity and transparency.

Easier to share with different people. Plus they are not identical policies. It isn’t “ironic”.
