Something ~~interesting~~ about the longtermist turn was that it largely recapitulated the features of more conventional systems — the hairshirt stuff was downweighted in favor of basically “do you affirm the right things about AI & biorisk?” Community building gained status. — PolitiTweet.org

Early EA was a kind of bracing challenge to those ideas — said you should give a lot to charity, should give up eating animal products, should give your kidney to a stranger. Said that politics was maybe not as important as people say and institutions should be frugal. — PolitiTweet.org

As someone who’s always liked giving money to @GiveWell, I used to think identifying as EA would be stealing valor from people I know who are much more altruistic than I am — I’ve got two kidneys, I eat my share of meat and cheese, etc. But then it became less demanding. — PolitiTweet.org
