It seems to me that there are some core principles of Effective Altruism such that if someone doesn’t hold them, I don’t think it’d make sense to consider them an Effective Altruist.
To be clear, I don’t disagree that anyone can call themselves part of the EA movement. I’m more wondering whether I would/should call someone an Effective Altruist if, for example, they don’t think it’s important to help others.
Don’t you think there are some minimal values that one must hold to be an Effective Altruist? E.g. Four Ideas You Already Agree With (That Mean You’re Probably on Board with Effective Altruism) · Giving What We Can.
