It seems like you’ve dismissed Effective Altruism prematurely then. Tomasik who considers even the suffering of insects would never intentionally harm people.

We read some Tomasik in my Effective Altruism class. None of the students could take his arguments very seriously. He's a fringe thinker in EA. The other anti-natalists and negative utilitarians are even more marginal.
