Do you really think that's what effective altruists want?

You really gotta look at their actions. What they say they want and what they show us they want are clearly two different things.

Do you think that your assertion, that they want to destroy the world around us in order to provide "value" to a small group of tech bros is at odds with the underlying philosophy of effective altruism? It seems like anyone who wanted to create the most good for the most people would be opposed to a future like that.
