This deep dive explores two distinct philosophical and social movements: Effective Altruism (EA) and the True Representation Movement (TRM). EA is a framework for maximizing positive impact through evidence-based giving and cause prioritization, focusing on large, neglected, and solvable problems, while the TRM promotes a model advocating for direct democratic representation and deliver the maximum sustainable good through radical democracy. The TRM argues that elected officials should vote strictly according to the will of randomly selected, working-class constituents, critiquing EA as an example of an elitist approach that fails to address systemic issues. EA text faces criticisms of being overly utilitarian, technocratic, and potentially detached from real-world suffering, particularly concerning its "earning to give" strategy and focus on "longtermism."
