Thank you Elham, I’m so happy to see your comment!
Honestly, this is an issue that I’m kinda struggling with too. Would you like to have a quick call to discuss our experiences and maybe collaborate on something?

Thank you Ben!
Agreed. It could be wise to consider removing the “People” section at this stage.
Initially, the concept was to have the website function as an entry point for EA, providing explanatory materials similar to utilitarianism.net, which has a dedicated page for key thinkers.
However, in our case and at this point, it’s not crucial to include leading EA figures.
Appreciate your input David!
Thank you Rockwell for taking the time to read and share your feedback, it’s much appreciated!
I fully agree with what you’ve mentioned. I might also add that the majority of the list are “white, heterosexual males.” Nonetheless, this composition reflects the reality of leading figures historically and presently within the movement (at least as far as my knowledge goes), and altering it to better align with our values isn’t feasible.
If there are other notable figures who play a significant role in leading the philosophy and movement, please do share.
I’d also add that Zakat is paid on a certain portion of wealth that meets specific criteria, not on all wealth necessarily. For example, there is no obligation to pay Zakat on owned properties that are not used for commercial purposes, and the same applies to cars, among other items...
There are HUGE differences between Islamic scholars and sects on this issue.
