Announcing a contest: EA Criticism and Red Teaming - EA Forum

INTRODUCTION tl;dr: We're running a writing contest for critically engaging with theory or work in effective altruism (EA). …

QixiSail 4y 46 0 0 A few questions, suggestions and concerns. Firstly, I expect people who's criticisms I'd most want to hear to be very busy, I hope the contest will consider lower effort but insightful or impactful submissions to account for this? Secondly, I'd expect people with the most valuable critiques to be more outside EA since I would expect to find blindspots in the particular way of thinking, arguing and knowing EA uses. What will the panelists do to ensure they can access pieces using a very different style of argument? Have you considered having non-EA panelists to aid with this?
