Suppose that a blind person in a first world country wants help paying for a guide dog and/or wants guide dogs for other blind people in first world countries, but has heard of effective altruism. What honest arguments could the blind person use?
The question is only nontrivial if you presuppose that to hear of effective altruism is to agree with its tenets. Without such a presupposition honestly has nothing to do with it.
Fair enough. I was being mealy-mouthed. I really meant “what if the blind person either agrees with effective altruism and/or is trying to appeal to people who do?”
