#and really my problems with EA might just boil down to non-subject-matter-experts being gullible to economism

thankfully only seen it a couple places, but the idea that one crypto guy who was big into EA turning out exactly like all the other crypto guys is somehow an indictment of EA is a very bad argument. Lots of movements have individual hangers-on who are jerks, con-men, or morons, and the problems with EA (which I have talked about before) are not at all the same as the problems with crypto. it’d be different if EAs had started shilling crypto at some point as a result of crypto guy’s influence, but AFAICT that never happened.

#ea has some good goals #and does good #though its methods are sometimes flawed #crypto seems to be a scam all the way down #and really my problems with EA might just boil down to non-subject-matter-experts being gullible to economism #which is hardly a pathology unique to that group
