You’re shooting the messenger. I’m not advocating for downvoting posts that smell of “the outgroup”, just saying that this happens in most communities that are centered around an ideological or even methodological framework. It’s a way you can be downvoted while still being correct, especially from the LEAST thoughtful 25% of EA forum voters
Please read the quote from Claude more carefully. MacAskill is not an “anti-utilitarian” who thinks consequentialism is “fundamentally misguided”, he’s the moral uncertainty guy. The moral parliament usually recommends actions similar to consequentialism with side constraints in practice.
I probably won’t engage more with this conversation.
