JohntheDuncan | Effective Altruism: Bourgeois Morality for the 21st Century @JohntheDuncan | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
Over the past decade a new social movement of "do-gooders" has taken hold of the minds of certain segments of the bourgeois of the 21st century: effective altruism. From Billionaires to university professors, this new social movement has captured the attention of some very specific types of people. It has also become lucrative and institutionally influential, controlling billions of dollars and having key figures in positions of power throughout national and international institutions.
This video examines this new, powerful social movement and argues that it's actually not that but just a reheated form of liberal utilitarianism, used to justify the conditions of global exploitation which produces the harms which it apparently seeks to ameliorate.
