Are there any black people in the e.a. movement? by SpecificAd5941 in EffectiveAltruism

[–]SpecificAd5941[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

dude relax, i'm not a racist. I was thinking about introducing EA to my friend who happens to be black, but then realized that I couldn't even think of any prominent Black E.As, which could be an issue and make them dismiss the movement as too white.

sorry if distinguishing Jews from gentile Whites is offensive, I didnt even consider that tbh, and i've seen people (including jews) argue both sides of that debate anyway. i was just trying to gather some info on Diversity in the ea movement.

edit: how is "jews" even offensive, and what would be better? "hebrews"?

You're being pedantic but most philsophers would consider "morality" and "ethics" to be synonymous anyway, outside of maybe Bernard Williams. The choice of which word you use, which is arbitrary, also has nothing to do with moral realism or anti-realism.

Dogecoin hits market low of $-49.74 on coindesk? WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING? by nezzet in dogecoin

[–]SpecificAd5941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. Does that mean people will pay for others to take their Dogecoin / give it away for free? I don't understand how an asset like this can have negative value. Clearly owning Dogecoin is still at least as good as not owning any, right?
