The Reluctant Prophet of Effective Altruism
The problem with effective altruism is that it is devoid from reality:<p>- no country was ever made wealthy by just giving them things. Wealth comes from passing through the difficult stages of development oneself<p>- you personally should do the good things you want to do in the world rather than just donating money for someone else to do it on your behalf<p>- Peter Singer uses the word &quot;should&quot; too much, and it&#x27;s almost offensive. His philosophy is an empty philosophy pushed through by people who believe we are no different to apes. The older religions do this all much more justice in a far more thoughtful way.
