I don’t particularly disagree with the piece, but it’s striking how little effort is put in to make this resemble a news piece or a typical Vox explainer. It’s just blatant editorializing (“Please do this thing I want”) and very blatantly carrying water for the–some how non-discredited–EA movement priorities.
Hasn’t Future Perfect always been a TREACLES mouthpiece?
Sounds like it. I’m kind of surprised they’re still making the association so explicit now that effective altruism is more well-known in the mainstream and has a fairly bad public image due to the FTX thing
and that Future Perfect was bankrolled by SBF
I was going to say that but couldn’t find the article that told me.
I mean, yes, but I feel like they at least put in some effort to give it a veneer of seriousness / normality. This struck me as being exceptional in its “we are right and you should go do this” tone with no effort whatsoever at quoting a dissenting voice.
