I think moral cluelessness is the best argument against effective altruism in general, and that this post makes that point better than any other I have seen. I do not mean that as a criticism or even a bad thing. Merely, this sort of thinking (possibly correctly, I don’t even know) suggests to me that it might be time to give up on doing good.
Thanks! It looks like you are also pessimistic about donating to the organisations working on invertebrate welfare I recommended. I would be curious to know why.
