I have spent like 40% of the last 1.5 years trying to reform EA. I think I had a small positive effect, but it’s also been extremely tiring and painful and I consider my duty with regards to this done. Buy in for reform in leadership is very low, and people seem primarily interested in short term power seeking and ass-covering.
The memo I mentioned in another comment has a bunch of analysis I’ll send it to you tomorrow when I am at my laptop.
