Other than that fact that Caroline E. and others like Constance W. are women and in the inner circle (living in the same penthouse) and probably entered into these relationships, can you describe how this is related to the issues at FTX or misconduct or issues that occurred?
If SBF was monogamous and married, would the current events be prevented, and how?
What you did was valuable, useful and brave.
With difficulty, trying to communicate in a way that gets at the heart of the issue and not pick out facts and tries to be fair:
My guess (50% true/certain) is that it’s probably fair to say that Kat and Emerson have a bit of a hustle vibe (I mean look at Emerson’s description).
Like I would do, and you would do, they try to maximize their local success. However, their output hasn’t been extremely high. There might be a small departure from some EA cooperate norms, that might be due cultural differences.
With the greatest uncertainty, but the most importance?: I think the potentially major issue is that by trying to sit as a meta org, Nonlinear can attract inflows of EA talent that scales with the movement (and not their ability), and also self-replicate. That is bad for movement health and incentives. EA is also small enough (and the course has seen a negative trajectory) that this could be an issue, e.g. the lemons sit in the aftermath, there’s a path dependency. The communication/publicity maximization adds to this concern.
As this thread shows, they are unpopular enough at this point, that I think the concerns are probably minor, like top #30-50 item on the list of things that CEA or OP needs to worry about in the next year or two.
