Maybe that’s right, maybe being good should be easy. But going back to undergraduate meta-ethics, I always thought there was a kind of ghost of Christian concepts of heaven and hell lurking here — if bad people suffer eternal damnation then being good can’t be too hard. — PolitiTweet.org

But separate from anything about SBF in particular it gives me pause that this is so easy — it’s really just asking you to affirm a couple of political propositions. And they’re not even costly propositions! You can say this stuff and fit comfortably into any party. — PolitiTweet.org

I think it’s clearly true, for example, that scientific advances have both made deadly pandemics more likely and also mean that there’s in principle much more we could feasibly do to prevent pandemics. This should be a high priority! https://t.co/8NGDNvK35X — 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

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

I think what most people want from an ethical system is some kind of plausible account of why being a really good person doesn’t require much change — just do normal stuff, hang out with like-minded people, affirm a certain set of political views. — PolitiTweet.org

@nbeaudrot @SelectStarMan Is it just that people were cooking canned vegetables and “pour the can with its liquids into a pot and heat it up” is the simplest way to do that? — PolitiTweet.org

It’s wild that people used to just be boiling things constantly. By the time I was a kid meat at least was almost always roasted, but dry heat for vegetables wasn’t invented until 2005. — PolitiTweet.org

@Noahpinion Mostly true, but I think this applies even more forcefully to density of *destinations* which is why remote work is bad news for transit — the dominant use case is bringing people to tightly packed job districts as an alternative to very expensive parking. — PolitiTweet.org
