That seems less like a principled heuristic and more like "eww, these people are icky, screw them".
As a general rule, EA groups have a tendency to latch onto ideas that are radical, ideas outside the overton window. You shouldn't assume that automatically means they're bad unless your heuristic is "we should never stray outside the overton window, ever".
- nibbleshifter 4y agoI have had a good amount of interactions with EA folks, a good number of well meaning people in my social circles are into it. I have no issue with radical ideas "outside the window" personally, but often find that EA groups tend to go right for barely workable "grand plans" and often don't listen to the people with boots on the ground, actually doing the work. I'd give specific examples, but it would be doxing myself as many of them are extremely specific.
