Would you say that China knows the bankruptcy of heroic-sacrifice culture (collectivist duty), and westerners have not really experienced that, and they know that westerners just romanticize it from a distance without ever really living it?
EA is funny in that it consists mostly of people who know about incentives and consequences and they try to pay their people well and tell them not to burn themselves out and to keep room for themselves, but it is still named “altruism”, and it still does a bit of hero-eating on the side from time to time.
