Maybe this could be a small discussion within EA, but I’d worry people will be or will feel judged on whether or not they have kids, and that would make EA very unwelcoming. There’s also the question of how demanding EA should be in the first place.
Even if my own (weak, uncertain) position turned out to be better, I wouldn’t want people to feel judged for acting against it.
Are you talking about the general conversations about whether EAs should have kids, or are you talking about the point I’m making right here?
Either way, I’m confident we are all perfectly capable of discussing right and wrong action on such issues while steering clear of moralistic judging, just as we have generally done on other issues such as diet and donations.
