1. I don't know about 'unrelated source.' I find that H2g2 is relevant in most aspects of life, one way or another. 2. I'll accept your recommendation, and read Peter Singer. Happy to. 3. "Don't recall Singer advocating earning at the expense of others." Now we go into complicated territory. Do we decide this based on theory or practice?

Admittedly EA is different because the movement doesn't certify or induct or employ people officially, but ultimately how people evaluate these things will depend on the practitioners they see. 4. No hate for giving to charities. But I do think there's a few more layers to unpack here.
