Good idea! I messaged them
Yeah, it's an interesting question whether, all else being equal, it's better to set up many passive impact streams or build one very amazing and large organization.
I think it all depends on the particulars. Some factors are:
Definitely! It's a specific instance of a potential meta-trap (another piece here about the idea).
The big questions are:
1. What ratio of meta to direct work should there be in the community?
2. How do we allocate credit?
Which is much beyond the scope of this post, but very important to discuss!
We've found three stellar people to incubate. 🥳 More details to be announced soon.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Yeah, the links in the episode notes is the most requested feature. We have them in all of our channels except for the static playlists (such as the top of all time lists) and the main channel because of technical reasons. We're working on the main channel, but it might take a bit because it's surprisingly difficult. Kind of reminds me of this comic.
For the intros, at least on PocketCast you can set it to skip the first X seconds, which I recommend.
Good question! We're planning on pinging listings on the sheets roughly every four months to see if it's still up to date. We also have a column that says when the listing was last updated.
Absolutely. We use Asana and we'll just add it to our "Making a new channel" template to check and make sure that we have removed people who've opted out.
We have an automatic rule for the main channel. The problem here was that it was a one-off, static channel, so it wasn't using the same code we usually use.
I'm really sorry that that happened. I think this fix should do it.
They should be removed now. Might take awhile to update on all the platforms. Could only find ones on the EA Forum. Let us know if you posted anything on other the other forums.
Oh, I'm so sorry. Where is it? It probably was a mishap with our data entry person. We'll remove it ASAP.
Love this post! I’d build on this question by slightly re-framing it. Instead of asking “should EA be more demanding?”, I’d ask:
I usually have completely different answers to these questions. General norms have to be simpler and work for a larger number of people. Personal aspirations can be tailor-made to your particular circumstances, personality, and goals.
Of course, you could make the general norm for each person to think specifically about what they should personally aspire to, and maybe we should just do that. One of my favorite things about EA is that we don’t tend to oversimplify things for people, but rather push people to really engage with the complexities and nuances of ideas.
