I really don’t understand why you would go to the trouble of posting this rather than just leaving this site and browsing elsewhere. It’s a big internet with lots of fun distracting content. I’m reliably informed the real world may have its attractions as well.
What claim do you have on E.Y. or anybody else? If anything, I suppose the donors to SIAI have some moral right to ask that he spend his time on the stated goals of that organization. But Less Wrong is free! It’s a gift!
I see that this post has already been downvoted a fair amount. I am motivated to respond only to express my continuing appreciation not only to E.Y., but to all the self-selected people who volunteer to Make Stuff Happen. In the context of this site, one example would be to the people who arrange for the regional LW meetups. That’s awesome! We, the passive majority who are the beneficiaries of this altruism, have at least the duty of gratitude.
