Strong disagreement that this is how we want things to go. Leverage is a black hole. It’s like Wonka’s chocolate factory without the delicious chocolate. Nobody ever goes in except to join! And nobody ever comes out! Occasionally I interact with Nevin, and they do some recruiting and fundraising, but lots of cool people and friends of mine and ours vanished without a trace. And That’s Terrible.
One can disagree about the value of Leverage. Maybe they’re doing good work. Maybe they’re not. I mean, they never talk to us, so how could we possibly tell? But if the proposal is for various groups of us to go off in their corners and never talk to the other groups again, I think that part is really bad.

Ah, I worded something weirdly there and then said a thing I didn’t mean to say.
“System working as intended” originally came after an extended anecdote about them making a bid more public respect/status, and then failing.
I meant the comment to be saying “Leverage isn’t an example of the Bad Idea Gains traction problem, but is an example of the Splintering Problem.”
