"rationalist community journalist"

We already have a reddit-style forum. Why would you want to go back to the old model where a few people (journalists) only provide content and the dumb masses only consume it?

traditional advice for groups with overwhelmingly western educated rich white male membership is to put a clique of western educated rich white feminists in the positions of power

...traditional?? We, um, come from different traditions, I guess X-/ I know that's what feminists want, but that doesn't make it a tradition.

So far, you are merely a fan of effective altruism.

Yep, true. Though, to be fair, EA isn't about how much you give, it's about to what you give.
