How well do you think EA deals with disagreements between large groups of EAs. How would you fix this, if you had a magic wand and weren’t allowed to fix actual cause areas?
Compared to other movements it seems pretty good; relative to the ideal, we of course could do better. In general, I think encouraging more critical thinking and debate is likely a step in the right direction. Right now I think disagreements can be handled a bit indirectly (e.g., I would love to see even more open cause area debates instead of just funding of outreach in one area and not another).
