Affective Old Truant

I'm an effective altruist mainly reading and boosting posts, but occasionally I'll muse and doodle about #EffectiveAltruism. I take a balanced approach, so will highlight under-represented views—my opinions will no doubt become apparent :)

Longtermism wie die Klimaidee hat ein großes Ideologiepotenzial. Ideologie ist dabei nicht einfach als Ideenlehre zu verstehen, sondern als Rechtfertigung, Legitimation von Herrschaft. Bei Herrschaft geht es um Staatspolitik, aber auch um Unternehmenspolitik, etwa. Besonders problematisch werden
It's such a fucking letdown to realize that most of his principles go back to utilitarianism and rationalism and longtermism. He'll ignore mass human suffering now for hypothetical future gains and he'll never get past being a capitalist. He'll unironically trolley problem situations.

Peter Singer advocates for improving capitalism through corporate philanthropy
Philosopher Peter Singer discusses his evolving views on capitalism, emphasizing its role as the most productive economic system while advocating for reforms. Retiring from academia, Singer highlights initiatives like 'Profit for Good,' a global alliance urging businesses to donate at least 10% of profits to impactful charities. He critiques the failure of figures like Sam Bankman-Fried to embrace ethical practices, instead focusing on systemic improvements. The article explores Singer's philosophical contributions, including utilitarianism and effective altruism, and his belief in redirecting capitalism's profitability to address societal issues. Despite skepticism about predicting future trends, Singer remains optimistic about younger generations navigating contemporary challenges.

Hah. Yes. Well. I remembered right that it was GNR—genetics, nanotech, robotics. I did not remember that it was inspired by John Searle and Ray Kurzweil, which puts this at the heart of EA and longtermism. www.wired.com/2000/04/joy-2/
Why the Future Doesn't Need Us
Our most powerful 21st-century technologies—robotics, genetic engineering, and nanotech—are threatening to make humans an endangered species.

problem with AI is, as many have already said, that it’s being peddled by individuals with the ambition and moral standards of the machines in the matrix
Morality and power are antithetical forces under #ArmageddonCapitalism 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎 Ambition to work with narcissists is generated by self-loathing Moral people have too much self-respect to desire such company It's why some politicians are "generational talent" - they sacrifice personal happiness
I've just read @rutgerbregman.com's latest book "Moral Ambition" and really blown away by it (despite the awkward use of Hogwarts as an analogy), it's really fired me up and made me really want to find my own group of tight knit people who share the world view and want to put it into action.

2/ ...how the current government is 'reforming' (i.e., dismantling) welfare to make it more 'cost effective'. Governments essentially care little about vulnerable minorities (which charities generally serve). If they did, they wouldn't be making it harder for the disabled to claim benefits.

I don’t think Yarvinism is a thing and Thiel on most days feels like a distraction but the EA/longtermism/existential risk ideas of Macaskill, Bostrom definitely have some heft as well as more farfetched transhumanism of people like Kurzweil.
