Agreed, I went to look for these thinkpieces to see what the arguments were since the guy with footnotes longer than some articles didn't cite any. Searching Google News for '"effective altruism" ( "castle" OR "Wytham" OR "£15m" )' netted 10 total results: - Three articles about a DIFFERENT castle in the Czech Republic also bought by effective altruists (What's the marginal utility of castles?) - One article about EVF (formerly CEA) claiming FTX funds weren't used to by Wytham Abby - A smattering of anti-EA of anti-SBF pieces that make single line references to the castle Even just googling for the same you get one New Yorker article that makes offhand mention, then mostly forum threads and a couple blogs that are debating (pretty fairly imo) about whether it was an effective use of money. I'm sure I could have missed some pieces but this looks like the classic and all too common "got mad about some random hyper-niche tweets but can't admit it"
