Regarding 2, there are large numbers of people in EA who are also involved in LW and much more who have had at least some second-hand exposure. So I think that your concern is overblown.
I know there is a link. I think I was unsure of the solidity of the link, I shall update that section.
Do you think that everything we might want to do fits into the (current) EA methodology. I’m thinking of things like; if we need to do some experimental work to answer a tricky question we think is important (but can’t do a good ITN argument for it)?
For example we may want to do more research on what is a good life for a human. The answer to that will have an impact on many different potential interventions, but is not really an intervention by itself.
