But I do want agency over our grants. As much as the whole debate has been framed (by everyone else) as reputation risk, I care about where I believe my responsibility lies, and where the money comes from has mattered. I don’t want to wake up anymore to somebody I personally loathe getting platformed only to discover I paid for the platform. That fact matters to me.

I cannot control what the EA community chooses for itself norm-wise, but I can control whether I fuel it.

I’ve long taken for granted that I am not going to live in integrity with your values and the actions you think are best for the world. I’m only trying to get back into integrity with my own.

If you look at my comments here and in my post, I’ve elaborated on other issues quite a few times and people keep ignoring those comments and projecting “PR risk” on to everything. I feel incapable of being heard correctly at this point, so I guess it was a mistake to speak up at all and I’m going to stop now. [Sorry I got frustrated; everyone is trying their best to do the most good here] I would appreciate if people did not paraphrase me from these comments and instead used actual quotes.

again, beyond “reputational risks”, which narrows the mind too much on what is going on here

“PR risk” is an unnecessarily narrow mental frame for why we’re focusing.
