Well, that’s not what ‘effective altruism’ means, right? At least on some understandings of the term, EA is not even a normative view; it’s rather a project that people can engage in for a variety of reasons. E.g. “excited altruists” do not, as such, embrace “beneficentrism”. (Though I would personally agree that the latter is an excellent reason for becoming involved with EA.)
Is there anything wrong just with ‘effective altruism’ as the name?
