Effective Altruism argues "I don't need to think about the person in front of me, I need to think about all the hypothetical millions that will come after him (that will be of my stock, educated by me, of my tribe, in my clan, who follow my beliefs)." that's the whole schtick. It's yet another selfish-filter, like libertarianism or anarchism. Apropos of nothing this? Is only as hilariously awesome as it is because it is so blissfully lacking in self-awareness. It is a Spinal Tap-grade examination of the fundamental principles of "fuck around and find out." “This is the true story, of seven selfish assholes, deciding to move to Mexico, grift off each other, and have their lives taped. Find out what happens, when people stop being polite, and start getting Libertarian… The Libertarian World!”
