After hanging out with the local Moral Ambition group (sadly there’s only one in Malmö), I’ve found a shorthand to exprss the difference in methodology compared to EA. Both movements aim to find people who aready have the “A,” and cultivate the other component in them.
Many effective altruism communities target people who already wish to help the world (Altruism), then guide and encourage them to reach further (be more Effective).
Moral Ambition meanwhile targets high achieving professionals and Ivy Leaguers (Ambition), then remind them that the world is burning and they should help put out the fire (be more Moral).
