The more I hear about EA, the more I think it is becoming the World Economic Forum for for zoomers. You may or may not think this is a good thing.

- Aachen 4y agoThe more I hear, the more I wonder what smear campaign is going on. The idea is obviously good, I've checked out the website a few years ago and iirc it had useful information that people can use to donate to things they care about and are effective. I'm not otherwise involved, but I can't understand why all the hate, why report only the negatives / political aspects of the organisation and condemning the whole idea? Is it like with people who too loudly proclaim to be vegan and the people around them can't stand it because they're made to feel morally inferior?

- HDThoreaun 4y agoThere's a lot of smear campaign stuff as well as some grifting going on. Most EA money continues to support global health causes through givewell, although the thought leaders have unfortunately spent a lot of time on longtermism.
- cma 4y agoHalf (of this org, maybe not givewell) goes to "building the movement" (buying lavish stuff like this and self promotion).
