This is like discussing if everyone should do missionary or backshots.

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of that direct connection, so you’re right with the first arrow! My point was mainly that very rich people tend to adopt and promote any philosophy or ideology that supports their being rich and/or getting richer. Which in the case of Peter Singer is ironic, because you cannot, of sound mind, subscribe to his ideas and be/stay rich at the same time. Those people claiming to practice effective altruism in the vein of Singer is ofc a contradiction in itself. Possibly they have developed a billionaire-branded offshoot of it that makes work in their favor. Coincidentally, I’ve heard of Singer’s moral argument in one context, and of EA only ever in the tech billionaire context until today - hence my first comment.

I doubt the first arrow, and the direction of subsequent ones. More like tech billionaires > effective “altruism”… > tax evasion…

How do we report this to mods?
