According to Yudkowsky, letting people die when you could save them is morally equivalent to killing them. I'm glad, because otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort to kill as many people as I wanted.
I don't know that I believe that, but Yud does. I just think that there are people who are capable of helping others and people who aren't. Of the people who are, these are in turn more worthy of help than the people who aren't because of a bootstrapping effect that's ignored.

I don't agree. I think accumulation has its merits in principle even if it tends not to have merits in practice.
