The tone of this post really grated on my ears, especially the last section where the words "we should" were used repeated. Syntactically "we" must refer to either "members of Less Wrong community" or "rationalists", but those sentences only make semantic sense if "we" actually refers to "utilitarians". I think I feel offended from being implicitly excluded from this community for not being a utilitarian.
Do any of my posts have this kind of problem? Being on the receiving end of this effect makes me want to make sure that I don't unintentionally do it to anyone else.
Sorry to hear that my post grated on you. This was totally unintended.
The 'we' in the last section is intended to be "Less Wrong posters who have some generalized/abstract concern for the well being of others. I believe that such people should expend some (not necessarily a lot of) resources on pure social impact because of the "purchase utilons & fuzzies separately" principle.
