I wish to write a one-year retrospective and/or report on this post. I'll contact Ben Kuhn to run this idea by him, to see if he would be interested. If he's too busy, as I expect he might be, I at least hope to seek his blessing to extend the mission of critiquing effective altruism.

There are also other critiques, like this one. Additionally, there have been counters and defenses in response to this post in the previous year. Further, specific to effective altruism, e.g., on the effective altruism forum, there has been more discussion of these ideas. I will take into account points from relevant and well-argued responses to this article in my retrospective report, and assessment of progress, vis a vis specific criticisms.

I don't believe I'm necessarily the best person to write this. However, I want to see it done, and nobody else has tried. However, I'm eager to collaborate with others. I'll write a rough draft, and outline, for this retrospective assessment. Comment below, or privately message me, if you'd be interested in reading. I will give you access to the Google Doc. This comment is the first action taken toward writing this assessment, so I expect it will take me at least a week to generate a first draft.
