This is way too many words trying to do morality without God. The effective altruist movement is best bracketed under the wider divine imperative of charity. Longtermism I think is best understood as a practical means for us to cooperate with the divine will that we should – and undying promise that we will – build a true Galactic Empire, as expressed in Genesis 15:4. Boom, done, ethical problems of EA philosophy solved.

FWIW, I think you might mean Genesis 15:5.
Surprisingly good take for the number of negative upvotes.
