That's not what the word "altruistic" means.
Agreed. I was talking about what the Effective Altruism movement orients toward, not the semantic definition of altruism.
Words matter. It steals the positive cultural connotations of the word altruism without actually being altruistic.
It exploits the gray area between being vs. seeming to be. There is a word for that. It's called lying.
You're welcome to argue with the founders of the EA movement, but please avoid calling me a liar for using the appropriate terms correctly. Thanks!
Apologies. I did not intend to call you a liar. Sorry if it came across that way.
Apology accepted.
