I’m not advocating increasing demandingness; I’m observing it. I’m not sure whether I think the increase is net good (encouraging people to do directly valuable things) or bad (too much pressure, losing people who would be happy contributing at 10% of that was more clearly valued).
And no, this post wasn’t coordinated with Julia. I sent a draft to her (along with several other people) before publishing, but she didn’t give any feedback (and may not have read it). In general I don’t coordinate with Julia in writing about EA.
Nice little one-two punch here with you expressing a desire to increase demandingness and Julia telling ppl it’s ok to leave EA. Was that planned?
