> https://www.wired.com/story/deaths-of-effective-altruism/ https://www.wired.com/story/deaths-of-effective-altruism/ This is a joke of an article. It shows a few incidental deaths while ignoring the total number of saved lives due to EA. It literally points to ~2 incidental deaths while Give Well saves ~300k lives. Its remarkably ignorant. Is there a word for this kind of fallacy? Cherry picking sounds too Reddit-coded.
