Executive summary: This post satirically proposes rebranding the effective altruism movement as “Illuminatea” to reform the community and spread its ideology, combining symbols of enlightenment, expanding moral circles, inner rings, self-reflection, and pyramid structures.
Key points:
Effective altruism has lost its way due to corruption and unlicensed epistemic practices, and needs reform and rebranding as “Illuminatea”.
The lightbulb symbolizes the enlightenment and illumination that the EA community seeks to spread to others still living in darkness and ignorance.
Expanding moral circles is key, but misunderstandings must be prevented by having an inner ring structure where the most enlightened determine the true values to communicate outwards.
Critical self-reflection, as seen in personal mistakes pages and feedback forms, is crucial for the EA community to appear trustworthy.
Combining the power of circles (rings) and triangles (pyramids) creates an increasingly powerful structure for spreading the ideology.
