I clearly need to read “How to Create a Vegan World”! Adding it to my reading list.
I certainly want to live in a vegan world, i.e. one where the wellbeing of non-human animals is considered equally to people. But I’m not sure I want to live in an “EA world.” Maybe that’s a failure of my own imagination, but it’s hard for me to even think about what that would look like...
As a “Big Tent EA”, I’d like to see EA grow, not only to increase it’s impact in a strict sense of scale, but also reform, refine, and expand on its ideas. There are certain EA values that I’d like to see become universal — generally various expansions of the moral circle, e.g. cosmopolitanism, veganism, longtermism — but I’m not as sure about widespread adoption of the movement. Does a world where everyone’s moral circle is a bit larger have to be an “EA world?”
