In 2023/2024 OP drastically changed it’s funding process and priorities (in part in response to FTX, in part in response to Dustin’s preferences). This whole conversation is about the shift in OPs giving in this recent time period.
I agree with the claim you’re making: that if FHI still existed and they applied for a grant from OP it would be rejected. This seems true to me.
I don’t mean to nitpick, but it still feels misleading to claim “FHI could not get OP funding” when they did in fact get lots of funding from OP. It implies that FHI operated without any help from OP, which isn’t true.
The “could” here is (in context) about “could not get funding from modern OP”. The whole point of my comment was about the changes that OP underwent. Sorry if that wasn’t as clear, it might not be as obvious to others that of course OP was very different in the past.

I understand the claim you were making now and I hope the nitpicking isn’t irritable.
