Just to be clear, you're criticizing a movement that has, as one of its cornerstones, the idea that most people in the developed world should be donating more money to the developing world, because they can do more good there. And your criticism is that actually they want to save lives in the developed world more? That seems weird to me.

I feel like there's either a disconnect between your perception of the EA movement, or mine. It could totally be mine! I know that a lot of the EA movement has been slowly shifting focus to long termism and X-risk. Is this your main criticism of the EA movement today? Is it your sense that it's no longer about actually supporting charities ala Givewell, but rather this other stuff, and that's what you dislike about it?

(Genuinely curious here, since you seem to be super anti EA and I don't understand why.)
