  on: Cri­tique of the no­tion that im­pact fol­lows a power-law distribution

  I agree with most of what you write and share similar analyses. Because I still think that there is a lot of value in the EA community, I currently keep supporting it and engaging in it. But I also see the imperative to bring in further perspectives into the community. This can be quite straining in my experience, so I kind of ‘choose my battles’ given my capacities to contribute to alleviating ideological biases in the EA community.
  So thanks for your post and putting in the work to keeping these discussions going as well!

  Thanks for the nice overview! Just wanted to note that shelters (on earth) do not seem to be worth it.

  on: Ob­jec­tions to Value-Align­ment be­tween Effec­tive Altruists

  Thank you very much for writing this post. You have clrearly stated most of my concerns about EA that I could not fully articulate and concerns that prevented friends from joining the community whom I believe are well fitting to it.
