The Global Spread of the Effective Altruism Movement and Future Anxieties
The fundamental assumptions of the effective altruism movement, which focuses on the prevention of suffering and death, its global rise, and debated cosmic concerns regarding the future of humanity are examined.
While the effective altruism movement is spreading globally on the premise that suffering and death caused by a lack of food, shelter, and medical care are bad, supporters of the movement also foresee certain new risks regarding the future of humanity.
Core Assumptions of the Movement
The starting point of the effective altruism movement is based on the extremely simple acceptance that suffering and death resulting from a lack of food, shelter, and medical care are bad.
Cosmic Endowment and Future Fears
Alongside this fundamental approach adopted by the movement, deep concerns among supporters regarding the possibility of losing humanity's cosmic endowment are also steadily increasing.
One of the greatest fears is that this cosmic heritage, encompassing all usable stars and galaxies, will fall under the control of an indifferent and superior intelligence.
