Is that a new kind of McCarthyism?
I also think EA is mostly unhelpful and possibly even dangerous, but it's more effective and honest to criticise actions rather than association.
- quantified 3y agoEA might be better than the unfettered-greed approach of so many of the super-wealthy these days.
- buildbot 3y agoIt's connected to it directly - EA demands that if you can make huge money it's "altruistic" to do so, because then you could use that money to help more people. It's a set of mental processes that help the ultra-wealthy absolve themselves of the terrible guilt of being ultra-wealthy.
- db48x 3y agoI'm pretty sure it's the other way around. You can't give away lots of money without first earning lots of money.
