Nah, EA is alright if done properly. The "Longtermism" aspect is pure bullshit though.

EA is just PR. It's a way to get rich while pretending to do good.

EA is primarily advice for people with moderate amounts of disposable income (i.e. middle class), or people trying to figure out their career trajectory. Earn to give is very much a minority position, and that's pretty much the only one that at all involves aiming to be rich.

Longtermism is mostly a weird set of academics. the recent folks using it as a pretext to buy houses in the Caribbean are almost purely a group of cryptobros using it as a way to ethics-wash their pump and dump.

Sounds like you're still learning. There are assumptions baked into that, which only support the elite.
