The practice of effective altruism, as distinct from the EA movement, is good for our culture. If you have a lot of money or talent, please think critically about how to leverage it efficiently to make the world a better place.

Doing that doesn’t buy you personal virtue. It doesn’t excuse heinous acts. But within the bounds of ordinary standards of good behavior, try to do the most good you can with the talents and resources at your disposal.
