b'We are unlocking a recent episode about a topic that remains very relevant.\\n\\nWe dig deep into Effective Altruism and Longtermism, laying out the origins, beliefs, and actions of this ideological moral system and the networks of influence and wealth that it\\u2019s plugged into. Along the way we critique the extreme logical conclusions it leads to, the extremely simpleminded fairy tales it\\u2019s based on, and the extremist group of moral zealots, useful idiots, and cynical bullshiters that rule this rationalist religion. \\n\\nSome stuff we reference:\\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 The Case for Longtermism https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/05/opinion/the-case-for-longtermism.html\\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 The Reluctant Prophet of Effective Altruism https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/08/15/the-reluctant-prophet-of-effective-altruism\\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Stop the Robot Apocalypse https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v37/n18/amia-srinivasan/stop-the-robot-apocalypse \\n\\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! patreon.com/thismachinekills \\n\\nGrab TMK gear: bonfire.com/store/this-machine-kills-podcast/ \\n\\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
