That's also a pretty bad definition of effective altruism. For how much they spout "do the most good" you'd think the author could just use that?

- bobcostas55 6y agoThe whole thing is bizarre. The author has been working on this piece for something like 10 months now, and he can't get a basic definition of EA right? I saw a hot take on twitter that Metz deliberately did a bad job because he didn't actually want to write a hit piece and his superiors forced him into it.
- hundreddaysoff 6y agoThis is an interesting theory. It also seems somewhat testable, because if true and Metz's superiors are not tone-deaf they we'd expect they will fire him, no? I wonder if it was Metz who had the idea for the original more positive-angled story re SSC's COVID info.
