I’m really sorry that you and so many others have this experience in the EA community. I don’t have anything particularly helpful or insightful to say—the way you’re feeling is understandable, and it really sucks :(
I just wanted to say I’m flattered and grateful that you found some inspiration in that intro talk I gave. These days I’m working on pretty esoteric things, and can feel unmoored from the simple and powerful motivations which brought me here in the first place—it’s touching and encouraging to get some evidence that I’ve had a tangible impact on people.
Your talk really is great. This weekend I’m facilitating my first introductory fellowship session and I’ve recommended it to those coming along because I think it’ll be great to inspire and get them interested in EA, like it did for me.

Thank you so much! I so appreciate this comment.
