I haven’t looked into the things I mentioned in a ton of detail (though have spent a few hours on it), but have learned to err on the side of sharing my takes here (where even if they are wrong, it seems better to have them be in the open so that people correct them and people can track what I believe even if they think it’s dumb/wrong).
Ok, thank you for your openness. I find that in-person conversations about sensitive matters like these are easier as tone, facial expression, body language are very important here. It is possible that my past comments on EA that you refer to came off as more hostile than intended due to the text-based medium.
Fwiw, the contents of this original post actually have nothing to do with EA itself, or the past articles that mentioned me.
Makes sense. My experience has been that in-person conversations are helpful for getting on the same page, but they also often come with confidentiality requests that then make it very hard for information to propagate back out into the broader social fabric, and that often makes those conversations more costly than beneficial. But I do think it’s a good starting point if you don’t do the very costly confidentiality stuff.

Yep, that makes sense. I wasn’t trying to imply that it was (but still seems good to clarify).
Sure, happy to chat sometime.
