  • rise to cultish ideas such as effective altruism

    I hadn’t heard of any controversies around EA, it always seemed like a positive thing.

    So what I’m getting is that the philosophies aren’t the problem, but rather it’s members of the community doing unethical things in the name of the movement

    • Sam Bankman-Fried

    • Bay Area Misogyny

    In a 2023 Time magazine article, seven women reported misconduct and controversy in the effective altruism movement. They accused men within the movement, typically in the Bay Area, of using their power to groom younger women for polyamorous sexual relationships.[147] The accusers argued that the majority male demographic and the polyamorous subculture combined to create an environment where sexual misconduct was tolerated, excused or rationalized away.

    Still bad and needs calling out
