This is helpful. Might be worth defining EA as a movement that realises premises 1, 2, 3 are partially true, and that even if there are small differences on each, it is worth being really careful and deliberate about what we do and how much.
There was also something attractive to me as a young person many moons ago about Toby Ord & Will Mackaskill’s other early message—which is perhaps a bit more general / not specific to EA—that there are some really good opportunities to promote the common good out there, and they are worth pursuing (perhaps this is the moral element that you’re trying to abstract from?).
