Critiquing Effective Altruism (with Michael Nielsen and Ajeya Cotra)
Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg
The Importance of Giving
Ajay: EA logic is kind of a consequence of how people in richer countries have participated in these market economies for a lot longer and have grown richer as a result. So you could say that that is the reason EA focuses on these constituencies. Ajay: It feels to me like somewhat of a selection effect. They're like selling to people that want to do altruism with some amount of their resources. And I think you have to be pretty passionate about doing altruism and pretty invested in putting a pretty large amount of your resources toward it before I think it becomes appealing to be putting all this thought into it.
