I attempt to survey—and address—what I see as the main criticisms in my academic paper, ‘Why Not Effective Altruism?’ (summarized here). But it’s not as comprehensive as an online FAQ could be.
I love that you shared this. I’ve just finished reading it, you’ve done a fantastic job. Thank you for so clearly distilling the problems with such widespread objections. My highlights were the revolutionary’s dilemma, EA as the minimisation of abandonment, the reputational threat that EA poses to traditional altruists, and the political critique.
