I downvoted this post, not because I disagree with EA needing to look at reforms more carefully, and take reputational risks more seriously (in fact on the object level, I think we're aligned a fair bit). Instead, I don't think it's the right medium. In its current form this post could have been a shortform, or perhaps the beginnings of a more fleshed-out post about the potential reforms once the dust of the last few days has settled. (Though I do grant your prior post might already have this covered from your perspective.)

I also think the title is quite unkind. It's not clear which 'Senior EAs' you are talking about, what your definition of them is, or why the scandals of the last few days have changed your mind about them. The overwhelming majority of them are likely to have no involvement in Bostrom's decision to publish his letter or Tegmark's actions regarding the FLI/NDF grant. It's also a little bit presumptous to talk about 'we', though I think it would make an interesting survey question to get some reliable data on the community's opinions.

Most importantly, however, those 'Senior EAs' are also people who have sacrificed a lot personally to get the movement to where it is today, and regardless of whether they have or have not made poor decisions as leaders they are probably hurting just as much as you or me, and possibly more so, about where the movement finds itself in January 2023.^[1]

   This is a completely biased view. I have met people I would consider to be 'Senior EAs' and they are unanimously kind, inspiring people that I care a lot for. Please adjust your opinion of my comment appropriately.

Set up survey on cognitive/intellectual diversity within EA

For what it's worth, something like this has been done, with relevant sections on veg*nism, religious affiliation, politics, and morality. Would there be any particular questions you'd be interested in including, were this survey to be done again?
