This isn’t my writing, but I thought I should share this recent criticism of EA. The author has engaged seriously enough with effective altruism that they were able to explain the argument for it pretty faithfully. Although I don’t agree with most of the arguments in the post, I think it provides a thoughtful perspective that reflects how people outside the movement (especially those with a social justice background) are likely to view EA.
