Want to note on this thread that CEA has published a statement on this: “Effective altruism is based on the core belief that all people count equally. We unequivocally condemn Nick Bostrom’s recklessly flawed and reprehensible words. We reject this unacceptable racist language, and the callous discussion of ideas that can and have harmed Black people. It is fundamentally inconsistent with our mission of building an inclusive and welcoming community.”

So CEA’s gone off the deep end into left wing political partisanship over object level discussion too. At least it is out now.
