Good points. Still, I feel like the phrase “it might be useful for EAs to try to nudge” is so qualified as to be hard for readers to disagree with offhand. It’s not like he said “it will definitely be useful for EAs to invest a lot of effort into trying to convince Bezos to grant to some drastically different causes.”
Unless someone spends a significant amount of time researching this question to be confident that trying to nudge Bezos to give in different cause areas is a bad idea, it seems hard to know if that’s a bad idea, and thus hard to “disagree-karma” a comment that merely suggests it might be useful.
