What does "our community" mean?

Alexei Andreev

To quote Anna: the "aspiring rationality" community; the "effective altruist" project; efforts to create an existential win; etc.
I don't know of a short phrase to describe that.

Stephanie Zolayvar

I think it's important for claims to be very clear, and that this one isn't clear enough.

Stephanie Zolayvar

In particular, I would disagree with the claim if "our community" means "all the people who are fans of the sequences" and I would agree if it means "silicon valley"

Stephanie Zolayvar

This claim is making want a "wrong question" button.

Stephanie Zolayvar

It's not operationalized enough for me to vote.

Also I think we want a basic argument instead of a bunch of links to related claims.

Eric Rogstad

I would like to see an operationalization.

Who is our community? How many of us should move?

Anna Salamon

Supporting claims:

I believe these headings are nonsense. It should instead say something like "Claims that some people think add weight to this claim", rather than the objective/NPOV-sounding "Supporting claims". And likewise for opposing claims".
