Effective altruism is just capitalism camoflauge, it's also just really bad at being camoflauge

helps you get a lot of community support and publicity during startup and then you don't have to give a damn about them once you take off

Effective altruism could work if the calculation of "amount of good" an action creates wasn't performed by the person performing that action.

E.g. I feel I'm doing a lot of good buying this $30m penthouse in the Bahamas.
