It's interesting that the article notes the similarity of EA to a religion. I don't just mean the 'cultist' element of people afraid to speak out, message control,... but on a more fundamental level: the sort of practical ethics where elite university professors tell you they've figured out what you ought to do with seemingly impenetrable analytical rigour, honed in countless seminars. It really struck me about Peter Singer already, who seems to be the spiritual ancestor to EA and all of this.
