- riezebos 4y agoI'm not very close to the core of EA, so maybe my perspective is not the most accurate, but one thing that I feel sets EA apart from other movements is that EA people generally are happy to disagree and change their mind based on good ideas/arguments/evidence from anyone inside our outside EA. For example: https://80000hours.org/about/credibility/evaluations/mistakes/ https://80000hours.org/about/credibility/evaluations/mistake... https://80000hours.org/2020/02/anonymous-answers-flaws-80000hours/ https://80000hours.org/2020/02/anonymous-answers-flaws-80000... I expect and hope that people within EA will keep learning from mistakes and changing their views.
