Mox Movie Nights watched Slumdog Millionaire today and it reminded me of the why behind the work. We're not here to EV-max, to gain impact points, to count utils. We're here because the world is unfair, suffering is prolific, and need to find a way through it.

This post speaks to the first principles and EA-agnostic part of me. I think anger is totally fine and don’t really agree with the emotionless aspect of EA. If the forum’s objective is a professional organization with formality, then sure. But if its more flexible in the direction of Reddit, I’m happy to read and resonate the raw and hard aspects of striving for suffering alleviation. Good for diversity of thought. (Minus uh ecoterrorism equivalent sentiment)
