THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

I have met so many of the men who promote ideas like Effective Altruism. Honestly, they tend to be this kind of man who is a militant utilitarian because the complexity of human society isn’t something he grasps. Why we elevate their blind spots into an ideology is beyond me. — PolitiTweet.org

The signs were right in front of us. This Effective Altruism movement is a con. It promoted “earning to give,” which was our existing plutocratic norm on steroids: make as much money as you can, even in socially destructive ways, and then donate to soothe your soul. — PolitiTweet.org

These men tend to live in their heads and favor algorithms and formulas that can explain human society to them. Because they are code people, not people people. That’s fine. But when they begin to privately govern us, it becomes a problem. Their blind spots become our crises. — PolitiTweet.org
