Stubborn Attachments by @tylercowen IS OUT(!) This book finally knocked loose, with minimal pain, an ever-wiggling concern that Effective Altruism may only be part of the grand human story (though a critical one). https://smile.amazon.com/Stubborn-Attachments-Prosperous-Responsible-Individuals/dp/1732265135/ …

I suspect the majority of self-described EAs (not just leaders) would also disagree with your claim. Long-termism (GCRs and otherwise) and animal welfare have been major, well-established parts of EA for years and are widely discussed in EA forums.

Animal welfare is *entirely* redistributive, it's just that the recipients aren't human. There's a whole mishmash of stuff constituting Far Future, but that's still an EA edge that the movement as a whole feels weird about, which is why the central EA books tend to sideline it.
