Thanks Oli. So I guess this article is arguing that EA Munich was either mistaken about Robin Hanson’s character or they were prioritizing reputation over character?
I find this discussion very uncomfortable because I really don’t like publicly saying “I have concerns about the impact an individual has on this community”—I prefer that individual groups like EA Munich make the decision on their own and as discreetly as possible—but it seems the only way they could defend themselves is to publicly state everything they dislike about Robin Hanson. I know they’ve said a couple things already but I don’t love that we’re encouraging a continued public prosecution and defense of Robin Hanson’s character.
I read this piece as proposing a stance towards a social dynamic (“how EA should orient to cancel culture”), rather than continuing litigation of anyone’s character.
