It seems pretty obvious that Eliezer's view is that FAI is the quick ticket to world domination...

I hadn't considered that, but now I see it clearly. How interesting.

Really? Your plan is to get people interested in world domination by guilting them?

Ha! If that would work, maybe it'd be a good idea. But no, pointing out a moral obligation is not the same as guilting. Guilting would be me messaging you, saying "See that poor starving African woman? if you had listened to my plan, she'd be happier." But I won't be doing that.
