expecting effective altruism to not trust every single institutional indicator of legitimacy (dozens of governments, central banks, the entire media) is dumb.

its a fairly decentralized movement, its just a random collection of people donating money.

I don’t blame for the same reason I wasn’t expecting, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a learning opportunity.

If you skip the learning opportunity, then I will blame, given the association with big-R Rationality causes an expectation.

there's absolutely no indication they aren't using this as a learning opportunity. William MacAskill who is one of the leaders of the movement has already put out multiple posts about this whole affair.
