It's hard to pin it down exactly, but... Attachments is really not about limiting your sense of obligation to others, but to widening the scope of that obligation (to, for example, people living many hundreds of years from now) & serving that obligation through high productivity.

A criticism I would have is that in service of being "big tent," EA hasn't really walked back some of its early ideas firmly enough, so there's quite a lot of probably-bad meme-spreading (e.g. "you are the global 1%" is an effective meme, but easily anchors people to a bad lens)

What claims do you think we should explicitly walk back?

EA is: maximise welfare while respecting rights. The rest is just a debate about means. How much that will involve each of redistribution / sacrifice / business / innovation / labour is very debatable and likely hinges on your individual circumstance and point in history.

"EA is: maximise welfare while respecting rights." I have never seen this definition used in any EA materials, or reflected back to me by any EA except you, just now. I *have* heard it (or something like it) used by people who describe themselves as "EA adjacent" or similar.
