Another critique of effective altruism

Abstract

This article levels several critiques against the effective altruism movement. First, it contends that there is an over-focus on so-called “tried and true” options such as earning to give, an overabundance of over-confident claims coupled with insufficient background research, and an over-reliance on a small set of tools that leads to underestimation of the worth of factors like flow-through effects. The writer of this piece concludes that this narrow-minded approach has led to a decrease in the movement’s overall effectiveness. – AI-generated abstract.
