Sea Change Radio

As the news that thir­ty year-old cryp­tocur­ren­cy baron, Sam Bankman-Fried‘s, FTX empire sud­den­ly col­lapsed, the resid­ual effects rever­ber­at­ed in the spheres of busi­ness, pol­i­tics and phil­an­thropy. Bankman-Fried was one of the largest donors to and a huge pro­po­nent of effec­tive altru­ism, a social and philo­soph­i­cal move­ment start­ed by aca­d­e­mics Peter Singer, Toby Ord, and William MacAskill. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to author and jour­nal­ist Alexan­der Zaitchik to learn more about the effec­tive altru­ism move­ment and its off­shoot known as longter­mism.” We dis­cuss how longter­mism sprung from effec­tive altru­ism, how the down­fall of Bankman-Fried might change the mega-phil­an­thropy space mov­ing for­ward, and how the move­ment all too often ignores the imme­di­ate threat of cli­mate change.
