You see, with Effective Altruism, we'll destroy the world around us to serve a small cadre of ubermensch tech bros, who will then somehow in the next few centuries go into space and put supercomputers on other planets that run simulations of people. You might actually be in one of those simulations right now, so be grateful.

We are very smart and not just reckless, over-indulged douchebags who jerk off to the smell of our own farts.

Do you really think that's what effective altruists want?

You really gotta look at their actions. What they say they want and what they show us they want are clearly two different things.
