Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A trilogy on anti-philanthropic misdirection, published by Richard Y Chappell on April 5, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
Three recent posts that may be of interest:
Moral Misdirection (introducing the general concept: public communicators should aim to improve the importance-weighted accuracy of their audience's beliefs)
What "Effective Altruism" Means to Me (sets out 42 claims that I think are true and important, as well as a handful of possible misconceptions that I explicitly reject)
Anti-Philanthropic Misdirection: explains why I think vitriolic anti-EAs are often guilty of moral misdirection, and how responsible criticism would look different. (Leif Wenar's recent WIRED article is singled out for special attention.)
