It was such a token effort though. I’m literally giving that much away myself. How about every single person at an ea org steps down and we have an election for the new boards, or they can drop the ea name? (I’m only half joking)
Tangent, but do you have a writeup somewhere of why you think democracy is a more effective form of governance for small institutions or movements? Most of the arguments for democracy I’ve seen (e.g. peaceful transfer of power) seem much less relevant here, even as analogy.
No I don’t but effective altruism should not be a small movement. I think about 1⁄3 of all people could get on board. Applied utilitarianism should be a small movement, and probably not democratic. I’ll just write up a more coherent version of my vision and make a quick take or post though. I would agree democracy is not great for a small movement though I’m not expert.
I think the donation election on the forum was trying to get at that earlier.
