> The problem is that it quickly becomes an invitation to ideas like longtermism. Which involve long chains of potentially flawed reasoning, leading to the belief that you're doing tremendous good. And with confirmation bias making it hard for you to doubt your logic, leading to an unbounded potential for error. We haven't been reading the same article I think for you've got an extremely gentle take on this. TFA specifically how the "poster boy" of the EA movement bought its way into having a best-seller by using $10m of stolen money gifted by FTX to propel his book ("based on marketing, not merit" according to TFA) and how that same person bought a $16m 15th century mansion in the UK using stolen FTX money. All the while they were presenting SBF as an "altruistic genius driving a Toyota Corolla" while they fully knew he was living an ultra-lavish lifestyle. It's now a fact that SBF is a criminal and the EA movement still hasn't given the ill-acquired donations from SBF back. I hope that John J. Ray III (the person who was in charge of the EA liquidation and now the FTX liquidation) goes after that mansion in the UK and manages to claw money back from the EA movement. There's hope though as 15 years after the Enron scam money was still clawed back.
