Thanks for writing this up, I had similar thoughts.
Overall I’m glad Cathleen wrote this post, as it gave me a lot more insight into what life in Leverage was like and why, and more empathy for what people there have been going through. I really hope she and everyone else manages to carry on, be successful, not be stigmatized, and keep working on things that are important to them.
But also, I have not updated in the direction of “Leverage was actually working on important or meaningful things that are valuable to other people outside its ecosystem.” I’m still waiting for that, and interested in seeing things that might indicate it. It would be fantastic to learn of new psychology research or insights that could help me and my friends and clients.
This also seems central to why the question of whether Leverage is being treated unfairly now or not feels very different than whether they were treated unfairly before.
