Thank you so much for understanding, and sticking with my lengthy comment long enough to understand
I reject a norm that I ought to be epistemically brave and criticise the piece in any detail.
Fine. It's fine to say nothing and just downvote, sure. Also fine to have said, "this looks like it should go on the EA Forum too".
It.. did find a better reception on EA Forum... I do think that that there is a difference between what is appropriate to post here and what is appropriate to post on the EA Forum.
Sigh. I suspect you have missed my point or you are missing understanding of what EA forum really is. The EA Forum is where people can ask questions and discuss effective causes, interventions, and ways of... (read 613 more words →)
As an EA, please don't try and pin this on us. The claims are more relevant to the rationality community than the EA community. On the other hand, if you think the piece is irrelevant or poorly written and doesn't belong anywhere, then be epistemically brave and say that. You are totally allowed to think and express that, but don't try and push it off on the EA Forum. If this piece doesn't belong here, it doesn't belong there.

Because it is inappropriate to intentionally be doing things that bring you sexual arousal at work:
How do you think it would compare to being on a constant screensharing call with a friend/remote assistant, so they can always check your screen? Say you know for a fact that your screen is up at all times on their extra monitor? Been considering doing this.
(I don't know how screensharing works for ultra-wide displays like yours though, and which I also want, to whatever possibly-crappy extra monitor a friend might have. Fingers crossed it would display the whole thing, rather than cropping it. I suppose you could always buy a big screen for the remote assistant though)
Sure. Maybe it is cuz I am more in EA than LW that this is all normal to me. There are frequent retreats and workshops for different career niches and groups including student groups. Plus there are the EAG(x) conferences that, as tidy weekend events people fly in and get lodging reimbursed for, I'd say are comparable to this, and they happen at a scale 10-50x this one which has probably shaped my perception that this one is well within bounds of normal.
Examples: I am checking this on mobile so sorry for formatting and not precise examples. But you can use this link to search for terms "workshop", "retreat", "bootcamp", and "weekend"... (read more)
Wasn't doing that.
