Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Unflattering aspects of Effective Altruism, published by NunoSempere on March 15, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.

I've been writing a few posts critical of EA over at my blog. They might be of interest to people here:

Unflattering aspects of Effective Altruism

Alternative Visions of Effective Altruism

Auftragstaktik

Hurdles of using forecasting as a tool for making sense of AI progress

Brief thoughts on CEA's stewardship of the EA Forum

Why are we not harder, better, faster, stronger?

...and there are a few smaller pieces on my blog as well.

I appreciate comments and perspectives anywhere, but prefer them over at the individual posts, since I disagree with the EA Forum's approach to life.

Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org
