I spent 2014-2019 building the EA movement. I now see it as antithetical to much of what I care about.
which really sucks.
One criticism of the movement that has really crystalized for me lately is this:
Effective Altruism is dehumanizing.

Effective altruism is a successful ideology because it has a powerful psychological effect on its adherents.
Getting people to donate lots of money or change careers is HARD.
EA accomplishes this by getting people to value themselves based primarily on their "EA" contributions

For some EAs their value becomes money donated or EAs recruited
For others, it becomes increasing the number of future people that will live happy lives in expectation (or something)
Your value to the world becomes your ability to do those things, change those numbers.

Meet project "Good Old USA" the now unsealed DoJ file on the Russian influence in the US to sway opinion on the war in Ukraine.
Something Trump has bought into hook-line and sinker.
It was held under seal, because we got the literal playbook revealing their methods

The campaign, done with the direct oversight of President Putin, spent years creating fake versions of US news sites, sharing fake stories on social media, and being social media reply-guys with isolationist, anti-Ukraine, and anti-West commentary.

Fake versions of news sites like Fox News were used to spread stories on Facebook and Twitter as "fact" while a network of commentators were encouraged to tell you that "the official media will never tell you what's happening" or to "dig deeper"

👨🏫 A month ago, my father — a leading expert in Ancient Roman literature — turned 80. I asked what advice I should pass to the next generation. He gave me 3:
👨💻 1. Lead by example. People — especially kids — follow what you do, not what you say. Watching my father work tirelessly on numerous books and scientific papers showed me and my brother the meaning of dedication and inspired us to work hard too.
💖 2. Focus on the positive. Growing up in post-war Leningrad, my father learned to control emotions to be a positive force for his family, colleagues and society. He taught me to frame thoughts in ways that bring the most good, even in hard times.
Courage would sound like this:
"We are placing a moratorium on all federal recommendations, guidelines, etc. regarding vaccinating pregnant moms and children 'against' anything."

Start with the flu shot.
CDC Internet Panel data* show 🚩U.S. flu-shot rates in pregnant women rose from about 15% pre-2009 to 32–51% seasonal, 47% H1N1, and up to 66% combined in 2009–10. 🚩
Coverage peaked at 57.5% in 2019–20 🚩 then fell to about 47% during COVID and remains there.
Higher uptake is linked to doctor advice, access, and is greatest among older, educated, non-Hispanic White or Asian women.
*end-of-season estimates based on self-reported vaccination by women who were pregnant at any point between Oct-Jan of each season

Why speak only about the past when flu shot season is upon us?
Pre-natal visits in the fall and winter include pressure to get a flu shot.

As a reminder, a federal judge ordered the LAPD to stop shooting reporters with less lethals.
They continue doing it. Karen Bass has not said a single word about it.

Karen Bass is an LAPD cuck. They straight up own her.
She agreed to give the LAPD everything they want if they endorse her for reelection. And the union did. Because of that she will never criticize the LAPD. She’s a whole fucking sellout.

There is a lot of confusion on what constitutes "the Epstein files." So let me explain. (Thread). First, there are the DOJ/FBI federal criminal case files. This is what Congress voted to release this past week. 1.
2. A small subset included with the DOJ files are the federal grand jury files. This is the evidence federal prosecutors present to a grand jury in order to get an indictment. It is a very small percentage of the files. (more)
3. The Oversight Committee Epstein files: these are they files that Congress obtain from Epstein's estate by issuing a subpoena. They include Epstein's calendars, emails and other documents that have been dripping out over they past few months. (more)

🚨 BREAKING: The “missing” Turning Point 990s just dropped — all 4 filed in May 2025 — and the truth is wilder than the conspiracy theories.🧐
Caveat: This is according to Grok. I am not a accountant and don't purport to be one, this is just my preliminary findings.
Here’s what the actual filings reveal (I read every page so you don’t have to):
🔴1.) The $8.56 million that TPUSA sent to “America’s Turning Point” (the shell everyone said vanished) DID NOT disappear.
It went to a brand-new entity that suddenly reported 24 employees and $5.3 million in payroll after claiming ZERO employees for its entire existence.
That entity spent $7.84 million on the “Campus Victory Project” — the exact same program that used to be inside TPUSA itself.
🔴2.) TPUSA’s headcount magically dropped 33% (700 → 458 employees) while group-wide salaries exploded from ~$21 million → $31 million.
They simply moved the entire campus field team off the main 501(c)(3) books into a new legal entity to make TPUSA look leaner and cleaner to donors.
🔴3.) Turning Point Action (the 501(c)(4) Tyler Bowyer runs) tripled overnight from $10.7 million → $27.2 million revenue in an election year and is now bigger than the flagship charity.
🔴4.) The Endowment is sitting on $70 million in stocks and threw $1.5 million back to TPUSA. Business as usual.
Bottom line:
No phantom paychecks. No money “stolen.”
But a deliberate, aggressive restructuring to hide payroll and headcount from donors by spinning campus operations into a new entity that had never reported a single employee before 2024.
It’s not fraud… it’s financial cosmetology on steroids.
This is exactly the kind of opaque shell-company shuffle that made Charlie Kirk demand a DOGE-style audit 8 days before he was murdered — and exactly why Tyler Bowyer went on X telling everyone “nothing to see here, just read the 990s” while knowing three of the four weren’t public yet.
The filings are now public.
The money is accounted for.
But the donor deception is blatant.
Full 990s (all four): will be linked in the comments below.
Transparency matters.
Charlie deserved better than creative accounting.
Read them yourself and decide.
