EBA? (Evidence based altruistim—no identifier as it’s aspirational as mentioned)Like EBM..while this.particular suggestion may be poor, I’d like to try and see if there’s a word that puts humility at the heart of it. I think it will be appealing and accurate- rationality, evidence and caring about other people as much as yourself all have roots in humility?
I find EA difficult, as it defines others as either stupid or selfish and sounds exclusive and.elitist to non academic types, and think under promising with overdelivery has many benefits. It draws a parallel with evidence based movements, which seek to overturn people’s God complex and over riding belief in ad hoc.guesswork, shower inspiration, social proofing, and emotional intuition, as well as the motivational vices that lead there?

Yeah, I feel better about identifying as ‘evidence-based’ than ‘effective’ actually.
Everyone wants to be ‘evidence based’ - no one wants to be ‘prior probability informed’. #foreveralone
The only bit of your beliefs that you’re able to share is the evidence, not the prior belief. So I think it works.
Prior Probability Informed Altruism isn’t exactly catchy either.
