F1nn5ter)") compiling criticisms of EA as an organization, and as a philosophy. One of the criticisms against EA as a movement outlined in the video is that **EA has an observability bias. By limiting itself to evidence-based remedies, it's always working within the system, potentially reinforcing the (difficult to measure) root causes of the problems it purports to solve.** In only recommending "evidence-based" ways to do good, it discounts other unquantifiable options that may do far greater good. |
