I have previously been critical of Effective Altruism, comparing it to trying to be an Effective CooperateBot (example).
If we were to extend Effective CooperateBot to the other sorts of players in prisoner’s dilemmas, by analogy we’d call egoists Effective FairBot / Effective PrudentBot, depending on how your brand of egoism deals with CooperateBots.
That’s a mouthfull and might be too technical, but it might be a nice way of reframing the question; when you said ‘egoism,’ I didn’t know exactly what you meant.
