    Effective altruism (EA) requires that when we donate to charity, we maximize the beneficial impact of our donations. While we are in broad sympathy with EA, we raise a practical problem for EA, which is that there is a crucial empirical presupposition implicit in its charity assessment methods which is false in many contexts. This is the presupposition that the magnitude of the benefits (or ...

    Effective Altruism (EA) is both a philosophy and a movement. The main criticism on EA is that by donating to charities EA leaves fundamental moral issues such as global poverty and injustice intact. EA arguably does not promote radical institutional change which could lead to an ultimate eradication of the problems that may endanger people's lives in the first place. In this article this ...

    The effective altruism (EA) movement has found great success in recent decades challenging common-sense intuitions about charity. Common sense would have it that you can do what you want with your own money, including giving it away to whatever charity you prefer to donate it to, provided you don't harm anyone in doing so.

    This paper ad-dresses some common misconceptions, and argues that the core "beneficentric" ideas of efective altruism are both excel-lent and widely neglected.

It owes its success primarily not to its underlying ethical theory, which is problematic, but to its compatibility with political and economic institutions responsible for some of the very harms it addresses. The criticisms to which EA is subject are ...
  7. Conclusion I've presented several areas in which the effective altruism movement fails to converge on truth through a combination of the following effects: Effective altruists "stop thinking" too early and satisfice for "doesn't obviously conflict with EA principles" rather than optimizing for "increases utility".

    A higher-cost version might look like Venture Science. The Institute for Venture Science "simultaneously funds multiple research groups worldwide for each selected proposal," based on their "potential for instigating dramatic beneficial change." Sounds like EA's mission!

    In recent years, the effective altruism movement has generated much discussion about the ways in which we can most effectively improve the lives of the global poor, and pursue other morally important goals. One of the most common criticisms of the movement is that it has unjustifiably neglected issues related to institutional change that could address the root causes of poverty, and instead ...
