“what’s been so odd about effective altruism is that the need for collective action is fully internalized in its DNA; it presents and understands itself as a world-historical ‘movement.’ But the collective action…has not been generally oriented toward institutional, political, or regime change. (One can’t help wonder whether this isn’t an effect of being geared toward recruitment of those that benefit most from the economic and educational status quo.)” #EricSchliesser https://crookedtimber.org/2024/04/05/on-shallow-ponds-and-effective-altruism/
