It really stinks that “effective altruism” has now come to mean “weird billionaire whims.” When done right, it’s about donating to causes like anti-malaria bed nets, cheap yet highly effective medicines, and animal welfare, all of which do incredible amounts of good in the world.

Effective Altruism != effective altruism. EA (capitalized (amusingly)) is the weird billionaire shit which doesn't appear to be effectively altruistic in the colloquial sense. Silicon Valley gonna Silicon Valley.
