Effective Altruism is the Atheism Plus of the rationality movement. Fight me, you fucks.

-
the concern is I go to a rationalist meetup and all they want to talk about is the ethics of veganism
-
hmm, i don't think EA is competing for brand space with rationality in the same way as A+ and atheism
-
no, because it won and A+ lost
-
i don't think EA is trying to position itself, or has positioned itself, as a better version of the same thing
-
I feel like it's sort of positioned itself as the next logical step
-
as a side note, some EAs feel that yudkowskists have been doing inappropriate entryism into their movement
-
worth noting that yudkowsky + people around him placed great emphasis on both effectiveness and altruism from the beginning
-
which is not to make an argument like "he owns it and should do whatever he wants with it". but EA is not an alien invader
