Too much emphasis on “altruism” and treatment of “altruists” as a special class. (As opposed to the rest of us who “merely” enjoy doing cool things like theoretical research and art, but also need the world to keep existing for that to continue happening.) No one should have to feel bad about continuing to live in the world while they marginally help to save it.
Are people doing specific things to make you feel bad about “continuing to live in the world”, or does mere discussion of altruist-relevant topics among LW altruists make you feel that way?
